SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING MOBILE PROVING GROUND - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18605130 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING MOBILE PROVING GROUND
The disclosed embodiments include methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for enabling beta testing of new features within a native application. In one embodiment, a native application executed by a client device may include executable instructions that are activated and executed only upon indication of a user belonging to a beta test group. The client device may receive a signal from a service or content provider that includes test group information indicating whether a user is a member of a test group. The client device may process the received signal to determine whether the user is a member of a test group and, if so, activates and executes certain instructions received as part of the native application that define a user interface enabling access to additional functionality unavailable to a user determined not to be a member of a test group.
- Enables beta testing of new features within a native application
- Activates and executes specific instructions for users in a beta test group
- Determines user membership in a test group based on received signals
- Provides access to additional functionality for beta test group members
- Enhances user experience by allowing testing of new features before full release
Potential Applications: - Software development - User experience testing - Product improvement
Problems Solved: - Efficient beta testing process - Targeted feature testing - Improved user feedback collection
Benefits: - Early feedback on new features - Enhanced user engagement - Improved product quality
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced User Experience Testing for Software Development This technology can be utilized by software development companies to streamline the beta testing process, gather valuable user feedback, and enhance the overall user experience of their applications. By targeting specific user groups for testing, companies can ensure that new features are well-received before full release, ultimately leading to higher customer satisfaction and increased product success in the market.
Questions about Beta Testing of New Features within a Native Application: 1. How does this technology improve the user experience during beta testing? This technology enhances the user experience by providing access to additional functionality for beta test group members, allowing them to test new features before full release and provide valuable feedback.
2. What are the potential applications of enabling beta testing within a native application? The potential applications include software development, user experience testing, and product improvement, where companies can utilize this technology to streamline the testing process and gather feedback for enhancing their products.
