The document introduces AWS Device Farm, a cloud service that allows users to test their mobile apps across hundreds of real Android and iOS devices. It solves the problem of costly and complex in-house mobile app testing by providing on-demand access to a variety of physical devices without needing to maintain an own device lab. Key benefits highlighted include the ability to run automated tests in parallel at scale, view detailed reports with screenshots and logs, and integrate testing into continuous integration workflows. The service offers flexible pricing based on usage.

7. What problem is AWS Device Farm solving?

8. Cost and complexity of effective testing is growing
• Maintaining a lab with relevant devices is
a challenge (make, model, carrier & OS)
• Manual testing on each device isn’t
practical
• Building an automation platform and
managing the test infrastructure is
complex and expensive

9. With AWS Device Farm:

10. Gain access to real devices in AWS cloud
• Non-rooted/jailbroken iOS & Android smartphones and
tablets
• Same device profiles used by your customers
– Mix of manufacturer, make/model, OS version and carrier
– Includes OEM and carrier customizations
• Multiple copies of each device
– Plenty of capacity to run customer tests
• Data connectivity
– Each device has WiFi connection to internet

11. Removes complexity of maintaining device lab
• Enables project teams on one common platform
• Devices up-to-date with relevant OS versions
– Keeping a device lab fresh with new devices and OS versions is a
challenge
– Maintaining a mix of the same devices used by customers is a full
time job
• Replaces proprietary test infrastructure
– No more labs with devices connected to computers over USB
– Hosting iOS devices requires a dedicated Mac per device

12. Key automation functionality difficult to duplicate on
premises
• Parallel execution
• Highly available devices
• Support for multiple automation frameworks
• Easy-to-navigate report
• Actionable results

13. View actionable reports
• Easy to navigate from summary view to lower level detail
• Combined log view of test steps and device logs
• Application performance data (CPU, Memory, Threads)
• Pixel-perfect device screenshots
• Downloadable log files

14. Support for Continuous Integration
• Integrate with the development flow. Developers can use our plug-ins and
API to automatically kick off tests from continuous integration systems like
Jenkins and other development tools.
