SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING MOBILE PROVING GROUND

摘要

The disclosed embodiments include methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for enabling beta testing of new features within a native application. In one embodiment, a native application executed by a client device may include executable instructions that are activated and executed only upon indication of a user belonging to a beta test group. The client device may receive a signal from a service or content provider that includes test group information indicating whether a user is a member of a test group. The client device may process the received signal to determine whether the user is a member of a test group and, if so, activates and executes certain instructions received as part of the native application that define a user interface enabling access to additional functionality unavailable to a user determined not to be a member of a test group.

主权项

1. A mobile device for providing a user interface on a mobile application, comprising:
at least one processor; at least one memory device that stores a set of instructions corresponding to the mobile application that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
receive a signal from a service provider, the signal including information indicating test group membership data;determine, based on at least the received signal, whether the user is a member of a test group;enable access to a first set of functions in the mobile application after the user is determined to be one of the members of the test group, the first set of functions being unavailable to non-members of the test group; anddisplay a user interface including at least one feature from the first set of functions on the mobile application.
