Perforce Software announced that its mobile application testing platform, Perfecto, will support Apple’s latest iOS version, iOS 17, on Monday, September 18, 2023.

Perfecto encourages app developers and testing teams to prepare their applications to handle the latest iOS version as soon as it becomes available. Since most iPhone users upgrade their devices immediately upon release, apps must be ready to handle the change.

“48% of users are less likely to use an app again if they are unhappy with its performance,” says Stephen Feloney, Vice President of Continuous Testing at Perforce, referencing a Global App Testing study. “For enterprises especially, a single hour of downtime due to a bug could cost in excess of one million.”

With both beta testing and day-one testing support for the latest operating systems and devices, Perfecto has always enabled customers to prepare their applications ahead of time, keeping them free from bugs or glitches and saving resources and reputation.

Developers and testing teams will need to test their applications against a host of new features arriving with the release of iOS 17 and the iPhone 15 series, including new widgets, app shortcuts, accessibility requirements, machine learning, gesture-based reactions, augmented reality affects, enhanced camera features, faster processing chips, faster WiFi capabilities, upgraded operating systems, and more.

The iOS 17 release marks the sixteenth year that Perfecto is supporting a release on day one.
