AWS Device Farm improves device start up time to enable instant access to devices

Posted on: Jul 19, 2019

AWS Device Farm is an app testing service that lets you test your Android, iOS, and web apps , on a massive collection of real mobile devices hosted in the AWS Cloud. You can use one of the supported automation test frameworks to parallelly test your app on many devices, or you can use Device Farm’s Remote Access (manual testing) feature to gesture, swipe, and interact, with the device in real time directly from your web browser.  

With today’s launch, Device Farm is reducing the device start up time by 90% so you get instant access to real iOS and Android devices. If you have selected a device that is available, Device Farm will now setup the device for your test within thirty seconds of your request. To ensure you always select an available device, make sure to update your Device Pool to include the *availability* rule.
