Hi @ndorvillearnold TestCloud offers real devices, ensuring that the testing experience and real-world scenario coverage are equivalent to using physical devices. However, TestCloud provides many additional advantages, including:

  • Scalability: Easily spin up multiple devices to run tests concurrently, drastically reducing test execution time.
  • Cost-Effective: No need to maintain a large inventory of physical devices, especially across various OS versions and hardware configurations.
  • Accessibility: Available on demand, no need to wait for a physical device to become free.
  • No setup and maintenance: TestCloud eliminates the need for complex infrastructure setup and ongoing maintenance.
  • Clean State: TestCloud devices can be easily reset to a clean state after each test, ensuring consistency and preventing test contamination.
  • Variety of Configurations: Access to a wide range of OS versions, screen sizes, and hardware configurations that might be difficult or expensive to obtain in real devices.
  • Automation Friendly: Test Cloud environments are designed for automation, making it easier to integrate with CI/CD pipelines and testing frameworks.

TestCloud is evolving with even more powerful features to support your demands. Our team of experts is ready to assist you in finding the perfect solution for your needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you.
