Description of the Mobile Farm service

Mobile Farm is a service that allows you to remotely run and test applications on real mobile devices. With the help of Mobile Farm you can test compatibility, functionality and performance of applications on different Android mobile devices. The list of device manufacturers (vendors) that are available in the mobile farm can be viewed in the following section Mobile farm device manufacturers.

The mobile farm infrastructure is hosted in Selectel's data center in the region of St. Petersburg, accessibility zone 2. After creating a mobile farm, you will have remote access to the mobile devices. The mobile farm devices are virtually accessible only to users of the account to which the mobile farm belongs.

The service allows multiple account users to remotely test an application simultaneously on multiple devices in a mobile farm. On all devices it is possible 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.

The mobile farm can be operated in control panel.
