Perfecto Mobile announced its MobileCloud plugin for Jenkins, enabling Jenkins users to automate and accelerate testing with real devices during the Continuous Integration (CI) process. The plugin allows testing to be integrated during each development build and also offers seamless connectivity to Perfecto Mobile’s Continuous Quality Lab.
"Perfecto Mobile’s Plugin and Continuous Quality Lab offers the Jenkins community an important component to support the shift to CI with testing that is automated, scalable and includes all of the devices available on the market,” said Steven G. Harris, SVP of Products, at CloudBees, the enterprise Jenkins Company. “The MobileCloud plugin for Jenkins is testing throughout the entire application lifecycle–from development through production—providing real-time insights and feedback to ensure the optimal mobile app quality."
Powered by Perfecto Mobile’s MobileCloud, the Continuous Quality Lab is a unified real-device lab that supports the modern mobile app development lifecycle from design through post-release monitoring. The Continuous Quality Lab is comprised of services to manually test apps, automate integrated functional and non-functional testing and proactive application monitoring. The enterprise grade lab is open and pre-integrated into popular development and quality tools.
"Development teams are striving to deliver apps faster, which in turn is driving the market to shift towards Continuous Integration and incorporate quality throughout the entire app development cycle. As a result, enterprises are looking for a process to ensure continuous quality as they try to keep pace with this rapidly evolving market all while reducing risk,” said Roi Carmel, SVP of Products and Strategy, Perfecto Mobile. “Perfecto Mobile meets this need with its ability to provide access to real, carrier-connected devices on a global basis, increasing mobile app release velocity without compromising on quality."
Following are the advantages available with MobileCloud Jenkins plugin:
- Automate the Process of Continuous Integration – Use Perfecto Mobile’s unattended test code execution on real devices connected to real networks and leverage ScriptOnce automation to quickly create wide-ranging test scenarios for functional and performance quality assurance.
- Real User Conditions with a Mobile-ready CI Plugin – Supports build automation with automatic app deployment on real devices, executing test code, and delivering fast developer feedback.
- Shift Performance testing Left – Ramp up from single device testing to full, cross-platform load testing on devices worldwide.
- Enterprise-ready Continuous Quality Lab – Extend CI practices to mobile with an always on, test ready lab delivered via the cloud and backed Perfecto Mobile’s SLAs.
- Detect and Correct Defects Faster – Rich reports include step-by-step execution, screenshots, videos and device vitals clearly demonstrating what went wrong and where.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
