After many months of development, we’re excited to announce that we’ve finally launched Pathmapp into private beta. That means we’ve developed our platform to the point where we feel comfortable supporting a small amount of users and their applications. The private beta is important to us because it is the first time anyone will use our technology. We’re hoping to gain insight into how these beta testers use Pathmapp to their advantage and how we can improve the platform to conform to our users’ needs. Ultimately, this will lead to a better platform when we launch into public beta.
The private beta provides access to our SDK and documentation from which our testers can install Pathmapp into their iOS application. Once the SDK is installed and the new build of the iOS application is deployed to their users, Pathmapp enables our testers to do some amazing things:
- Upload New Screen Interfaces – Our testers can create and deploy new versions of their screens without having to upload new versions of their application to the App Store.
- Live Configuration – We provide a snapshot of every screen and screen version available to an application, from which our testers can pick the screen versions to display to devices.
- A/B Testing – Our users can create tests containing test cases. Each test case has a different configuration of screen versions to display to devices. We measure converges based upon a target screen within the application that devices must reach. After a test has finished, you can choose a test case or have Pathmapp automatically choose the winning test case to display to all devices.
In the near future, each screen version will have Heatmapp data associated with it. This data will aid in the development process in order to create more effective screen interfaces.
Over the next few weeks, we plan to invite more and more people to our platform. If you haven’t signed up for our mailing list, you can do that from our homepage .
We hope you’re as excited as we are!
