Strengthening Global Partnership for Mobile App Testing with NTT Resonant Technology and Katalon

Enhanced Mobile Application Testing Through a Strategic Alliance

NTT Resonant Technology, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has solidified a strategic partnership with Katalon, Inc., an American company specializing in AI-driven automated testing platforms. This alliance aims to significantly improve the quality and efficiency of mobile app development by integrating Katalon's advanced testing technologies with NTT Resonant’s cloud-based device validation service, Remote TestKit.

Addressing Challenges in Mobile Development

In the fast-paced world of mobile app development, it's crucial to balance the need for shorter release cycles while accommodating a diverse array of devices and operating systems. In rapidly growing markets such as Vietnam and Southeast Asia, as well as in quality-sensitive markets like Japan, there’s an urgent need for automated testing processes and flexible access to genuine device environments.

In response to these pressing demands, NTT Resonant Technology and Katalon have signed a partnership agreement that spans technical and marketing fields, effective September 2025. This collaboration represents a fusion of Katalon’s cutting-edge automation technology and Remote TestKit’s extensive device resources, simplifying complex testing environments. As a result, users around the globe will be able to execute high-quality tests more effectively and efficiently.

Key Benefits of the Collaboration

Seamless Test Environment Construction

Users can initiate real-device validation of mobile applications—whether they be smartphones or tablets—directly from the cloud, significantly reducing the costs associated with procuring and managing physical devices.

Enhanced Global Market Responsiveness

Testing can now be performed using widely popular devices in various regions, particularly focusing on Japan and Vietnam, all through Katalon’s user-friendly interface.
