Quokka announced it has joined GitLab’s global partner program.

Quokka’s Mobile Application Security Testing solution, Q-MAST, is available to developers on GitLab’s One DevOps Platform allowing mobile app developers to test their apps during the development process to help ensure they are delivering secure mobile applications with the requisite security standards and quality.

Q-MAST’s integration with GitLab’s DevOps Platform, now enables developers to scan their app through the Q-MAST platform during each stage of development. By embedding Q-MAST into the developer’s workflow and testing the code’s quality during the development process, security risks found in the app and the integrated software can be identified early on instead of late in the development process. This can save time and money for the developer, and assures a timely, higher quality app, with fewer security and privacy risks delivered to customers.

“Aligned with rapid technology advancements, customers' expectations have evolved to wanting instant access to new services and features, therefore leading companies to run on a strict schedule to deliver new or updated applications to the market,” said Ted Wolcott, CSO at Quokka. “In turn, this requires a solution that can provide constant and fast application testing procedures, that identifies security and privacy risks within the app before it hits the market.”

“Advanced integrations, with partners like Quokka, help us deliver on our goal of providing customers with the most comprehensive, mature DevOps platform on the market,” said GitLab Senior Partner Program Manager Mike LeBeau. “Automating mobile application security testing in our pipelines enables us to help organizations innovate faster, scale more easily and serve and retain customers more effectively.”
