Hardware-testing firm Apkudo is Android developers’ free secret weapon against fragmentation

Fragmentation on the Android operating system presents many complications for developers. It is a time-consuming and expensive process to test games out on dozens of different devices, and even then it’s unlikely studios can get their titles running perfectly on every phone or tablet in use.

That’s where device-testing firm Apkudo comes in. The company has a free service for developers to test out their software on scores of devices. The company works with the companies like HTC and Samsung, and it found that it could better help those companies, which is where it makes its money, if it had access to as many apps as possible.
