Mobile Application Development Isn’t Just for iPhones - Enable More Through iPad App Testing
Mobile device attacks are on the rise: 85% of Verizon Mobile Security Index respondents cited mobile attacks as an issue. Yet, much of mobile application development and testing is focused on development and testing on phones. This testing leaves out a critical component of enterprise mobile application development: iPad app testing..
iPad testing has become essential as more enterprises rely on tablets for critical workflows. Corellium supports true mobile application development, wherever those mobile applications are used. And our virtual hardware platform now supports iPad security testing on the latest iPad OS, iPadOS 26, iPadOS 18, as well as previous versions iPad OS 17 and 16.
Corellium is the only virtual hardware platform that can be used to test apps on iPad OS with multiple versions concurrently. Simulators can’t replicate real world scenarios accurately and testing with physical iPad devices is expensive and time consuming.
Automated Mobile Security Testing Backed by Industry Standards
Corellium Viper also gives mobile application development and security teams a larger depth and breadth of phone models for testing their applications, including support of iPhone 26.
Why iPad Testing Is Critical for Modern Mobile App Development
Viper’s MATRIX functionality enables deeper automated scans across diverse devices and applications. It integrates seamlessly with the development and security tools teams already rely on—shortening development cycles and speeding up testing workflows. These scans also apply to iPad app testing, ensuring comprehensive coverage of security risks across the latest iPad OS versions.
Key MATRIX features include automated OWASP testing, such as:
- OWASP Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MASTG)
- Mobile Application Security Testing Weakness Enumeration (MASTWE)
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
- Payment Card Industry Security Standard (PCI DSS)
Findings come with detailed artifacts: impact, evidence, and remediation guidance.
