Description of the Mobile Farm service
Mobile Farm is a service that allows you to remotely launch and test applications on real mobile devices. With the help of Mobile Farm you can test compatibility, functionality and performance of applications on different mobile devices with Android and iOS operating systems. The list of device manufacturers (vendors) that are available in the mobile farm can be viewed in the Mobile Farm Device Manufacturers section.
The mobile farm infrastructure is hosted in Selectel data center, in the region of Saint-Petersburg, availability zone 2. After creating a mobile farm, you will get remote access to mobile devices. The mobile farm devices are virtually accessible only to users of the account to which the mobile farm belongs.
The service allows simultaneous remote testing of the application by several account users on several devices of the mobile farm. All devices have the ability to connect to the Internet. After testing, you can view logs and analyze the errors that occurred.
The service supports user types and roles and projects.
You can work with the mobile farm in the control panel.
