Benefits of AWS Device Farm
Use the same devices your customers use:
Run tests and interact with a large selection of physical devices. Unlike emulators, physical devices give you a more accurate understanding of the way users interact with your app by taking into account factors like memory, CPU usage, location, and modifications made by manufactures and carriers to the firmware and software. We are always adding devices to the fleet.
Reproduce and fix issues faster:
Manually reproduce issues and run automated tests in parallel. Device Farm collect videos, logs, and performance data so you can dive deep and solve problems quickly. For automated tests, it will identify and group issues so you can focus on the most important problems first.
Simulate real-world environments:
Fine-tune your test environment by configuring location, language, network connection, application data, and installing prerequisite apps to simulate real-world customer conditions.
Choose the tests that work for you
Run our built-in test suite (no scripting required) or customize your tests by selecting from open-source test frameworks like Appium, Calabash, and Espresso (see supported frameworks). You can also perform manual tests with Remote Access.
Integrate with your development workflow:
Integration with CI/CD pipeline: You can use AWS CodePipeline to incorporate mobile app tests configured in Device Farm into an AWS-managed automated release pipeline. Jenkins plugin for AWS Device farm: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-device-farm-jenkins-plugin
Setup your own private device lab in the cloud
Device Farm’s private device lab offering lets you choose iOS and Android devices for your exclusive use. Device Farm provisions these devices with the exact configurations you need, and lets you persist settings between sessions. Since these devices are exclusively for your use, you don’t have to wait for other users to finish using them.
