Mobile farm: quick start

Last update:
  1. Add a device.
  2. Start testing.
  3. Finalize the device.

1. Add a device

  1. In the dashboard, from the top menu, click Products and select Mobile Farm.

  2. Go to the Devices section.

  3. Click Add Device.

  4. Select the number of devices required.

  5. If you need a device that isn't on the list, create a ticket and we'll look into adding it.

  6. In the Price block, select a billing rate:

    • by the minute;
    • hourly;
    • 1 month subscription.

  7. Click Add Devices. The devices will be ready for use when their status changes to ACTIVE.

2. Start testing

We don't recommend it:

  • disable the USB Debug mode;
  • uninstall the MFService application.

If you perform one of these actions by mistake, the device stops transmitting data to your screen and becomes inaccessible. To resume working with your device, create a ticket.

  1. In the dashboard, from the top menu, click Products and select Mobile Farm.
  2. Go to the Devices section.
  3. Click on the serial number of the device. For other users in your mobile farm, the device will have a BUSY status - they will not be able to use the device.
  4. Open the Applications tab.
  5. Select the application file or transfer it to the download area.
  6. The application will appear in the device management window.

3. Finalize the device

When you are done testing the app on the mobile device, finalize the app so that the device is available to other users in the mobile farm.

All installed applications will remain on the device after the operation is completed. If necessary, uninstall them yourself before finalizing the device. Screenshots and logs will be automatically deleted.

To finalize your device, go to another page. For example, go back to the Mobile Farm devices page.

If you and other Mobile Farm users no longer plan to use the device, you can delete it.
