A survey conducted by Experitest and including 300 major Enterprises - including 7 out of the 10 largest banks in the world - indicated WindowsPhone8 is gaining significant market share. This trend is clearly visible in the mobile testing tools field.
Survey highlights:
- Over 25% of test automation license sales are WindowsPhone8
- Take up of WindowsPhone8 across all geographies with Europe leading
- 87% of Experitest bank customers have already or will be launching a WindowsPhone8 application by Q2 2014

The growth of WindowsPhone8 is positioning it as a clear third mobile OS after iOS and Android, at the expense of Blackberry. It is more likely than not that by the end of 2014 we will see another significant growth, days will tell. Until then, enterprises wishing to release their applications to the WP8 market, will be using the WindowsPhone8 official application testing tool, SeeTestAutomation of Experitest - as Microsoft announced in May 2013 (see link below)
