Device Farm

A real device cloud, without the device lab

A real device cloud lets you test on actual Android and iOS devices and desktop browsers, not a drawer full of chargers. Robonito's device farm gives every run a ready environment, in parallel, straight from your pipeline.

01The problem

Device labs eat the time they're meant to save

Someone has to buy the phones, update them, charge them, and figure out why one stopped connecting. Meanwhile, the release waits.

01 / 03

Hardware becomes a second job

Buying, updating, and replacing devices pulls engineers away from testing. The lab is always a little out of date.

02 / 03

Emulators miss real behavior

Simulated devices are useful early on, but some bugs only show up on real hardware. Those tend to be the ones customers find first.

03 / 03

Shared devices create queues

When three teams need the same phone, tests wait in line and feedback slows to a crawl, right when you need it fastest.

02What you get

What Robonito's real device cloud gives your team

A device farm you don't have to run: real devices and browsers, ready when your tests are.

01

Real Android and iOS devices

Run mobile tests on real devices in the cloud, so you see how your app behaves on actual hardware before your customers do.

  • Android
  • iOS

02

Desktop browsers

Run web tests on desktop browsers in the same infrastructure, so web and mobile suites share one place to execute.

  • Web
  • Cross-browser

03

Ready-to-use environments

Every session starts in a prepared environment. No setup scripts, no device provisioning, no hunting for a free phone.

  • Ready to run
  • Environments

04

Parallel execution

Run tests side by side to shorten feedback. Pro includes up to 5 parallel runs, and Custom plans set parallel capacity to fit your team.

  • Parallel runs
  • Faster feedback

05

Run from CI/CD

Trigger device runs from your CI/CD pipeline, including Jenkins, GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps, so each build gets tested on real devices.

  • CI/CD
  • Automation

06

Isolated sessions with full evidence

Each run gets its own isolated session, with logs and screenshots captured along the way, so tests don't share state with each other.

03How it works

From test case to real device in three steps

  1. 1

    Pick your platform

    Choose web, Android, iOS, or desktop when you create or run a test, in AI Studio or from your test suites.

  2. 2

    Run in parallel

    Kick off runs on demand, on a schedule, or from your pipeline. Sessions start in ready environments and run side by side.

  3. 3

    Review the evidence

    Open any run to see each step with logs and screenshots, then check pass rate and failures in Reporting.

04Real-world use

How teams use the device farm

Pre-release mobile check

Before an app store submission, the team runs its mobile regression suite on real Android and iOS devices and reviews screenshots of every screen that changed.

Pull request gate

Every merge triggers a smoke suite from the CI/CD pipeline. A failing login flow on iOS gets flagged before it ever reaches the release branch.

Reproducing a customer bug

A customer reports a checkout glitch on their phone. QA writes the steps in plain language and runs them on a real device to confirm the fix.

05Proof you can share

Every session leaves a record

When a run fails on one device and passes on another, you need to see exactly what happened in each.

Per-run logs

Each session records the steps the agent took and what it saw, start to finish.

Proof you get: Step-by-step run log per session

Screenshots at each step

Visual proof of what the screen looked like when a step passed or failed.

Proof you get: Screenshot captured for each test step

Execution trends

Track run volume, pass rate, and average duration across your device and browser runs.

Proof you get: Execution overview in Reporting

06Ways to start

Start small, prove it, then scale

01

07FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a real device cloud?

A real device cloud is hosted infrastructure of physical devices and browsers that you access remotely to run tests, instead of buying and maintaining hardware yourself. Robonito's device farm provides real Android and iOS devices and desktop browsers in ready-to-use environments, so your team can run automated tests without managing a lab.

Why test on a real device cloud instead of emulators?

Real devices show how your app behaves on actual hardware, which emulators and simulators can only approximate. Emulators are handy early in development, but issues with rendering, performance, and device-specific behavior often surface only on real phones. A real device cloud gives you that realism without the cost and upkeep of a physical device lab.

How many tests can I run in parallel?

It depends on your plan. Robonito Pro includes up to 5 parallel runs, and Custom plans offer parallel capacity sized to your team. The Free plan includes 1 parallel run for web testing. Running tests in parallel shortens feedback time, especially for large regression suites that cover several devices and browsers.

Can I run device farm tests from my CI/CD pipeline?

Yes. You can trigger Robonito runs from your CI/CD pipeline, including Jenkins, GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps, so tests run automatically on each build or merge. Every session comes back with logs and screenshots, and you can post outcomes to Slack so the team knows right away when something fails.

Is each test session isolated?

Yes. Each run executes in its own isolated session, so state from one test doesn't carry into the next. Every session captures logs and screenshots, which makes it easier to compare a failure on one device with a pass on another and track down the real cause instead of guessing.

Do I need to set up or maintain devices?

No. Robonito's device farm gives you ready-to-use environments, so there's no device lab to buy, update, or maintain. You choose a platform, run your tests, and review the results. Your team spends its time on test coverage and fixes instead of chargers, cables, and operating system updates.
