A system and method for mobile application virtualization. The system includes a server based architecture for mobile application virtualization. The architecture includes a single operating system instantiation resident on a server computer system. The single operating system includes a session management module and a plurality of service modules. The architecture further includes a plurality of user sessions each session comprising a plurality of applications and a unique session ID. The plurality of user sessions are operable to call services of the single operating system. The architecture further includes a plurality of virtual device sets each set comprising a unique session ID and associated with a respective user session of the plurality of user sessions. Upon receiving an application programming interface (API) call from an application of a first user session to a first service module of the plurality of service modules, the single operating system is operable to map the API call to a first set of virtual devices that shares a same session ID as a session ID of the first user session for fulfillment of the API call by the first service module.

Methods and arrangements for testing mobile applications. A mobile application for testing is input at a mobile device. The mobile application is automatically tested using a test script, wherein the testing requires data from an out-of-band channel. The testing includes: invoking a listener module based on the mobile application; using the listener module to automatically obtain data from an out-of-band channel; and communicating the automatically obtained data to the mobile application. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.

The present invention incorporates a Web-based software application or mobile App that generates a URL or hyperlink that, when clicked, opens a Web page (in the background) with a PhotoTour playing (in the foreground). It opens a ‘designated landing page’ that is ‘framed’ on the website; a PhotoTour that is floating, centered and sized to fit within the browser window; and redirects to the designated Web page when the PhotoTour is closed. It is a simple URL or hyperlink that is electronically transmitted via e-mail or text message or posted on a Web page or socially shared via buttons on a PhotoTour or posted on a social media site that can potentially drive a significant amount of word-of-mouth/referral traffic to a designated Website.
