Remote TestKit

Device Cloud for
Mobile App Testing

Features of Remote Testkit

Remote TestKit provides two UI options to access cloud hosted devices for mobile app testing. Web browser version is the best fit for quick manual testing. Client software version offers advanced features including seamless connectivity to other testing tools and IDEs. We recommend that you use the client software version when you link to developer tools or use automatic tests. We also offer an Enterprise version. Please contact us for details.

For iOS installs, you must register the device UDID on the Devices page at iOS Dev Center and generate an ipa file. Device UDIDs are available in the public domain. The software version allows batch deletion of apps.

Installing an app on multiple devices at the same time You can operate all rented devices simultaneously and install the same app all at once. There is no need to take the time to install an app on one device at a time. This also leads to a significant reduction in testing time.
