What’s new?
Visual Studio App
Center
A series of features available continuously—create, test,
deploy, engage, and repeat.
o
Integrate in minutes
Now you longer have to waste time in building apps on Android, iOS,
Windows, or Mac. Simply connect with VSTS repos, GitHub, or BitBucket and start
building the apps you want either on demand or with pull request, without
having to manage the build agents.
o
Quality on devices
Now you have the option of automating UI tests on configurations in
cloud and on devices (real-world). Work with the well-known frameworks such as
XCUITest, Espresson, or Appium. Diagnose the bugs, test each UI interaction
that your users can do, and check for performance problems every time you
build, with logs, tracking reports, and screenshots.
o
Delivery that actually works
Distribute your apps to users on Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS and to
the beta testers with on demand or commit. You can send different builds to
different tester groups and provide in-app updates via notifications. Whenever
you are ready, you can release these on Microsoft Intune, Apple, or Google Play
stores.
o

Analytics:
Increase your audience by focusing only on the important things with deep
insights about the top devices, behavioral analytics, event trackers (for Mac,
Windows, Android, iOS), and OS devices. Work on creating custom event tags for
easy event tracking.
