We currently have international devices from India. We use market data and customer feedback to continuously update the fleet. If you would like to see a device that isn’t in our fleet, please let us know.
How do I select devices? Can I retest on the same device?
Selecting Devices
AWS Device Farm | Mobile Services
For Automated Testing, devices are selected through a collection called a device pool. Some curated device pools are provided automatically, but you can create your own pools, too. During execution, tests will be run against all devices in the specified pool that are compatible with your application and tests. For Remote Access, you select the desired device based on make, model, carrier variant, and operating system version. You can then optionally upload apps and other data as well as configure other device settings. Device Farm then locates an available device matching your request and displays the device’s display in your browser. You can then interact with the device and capture screenshots and video.
Are any apps pre-installed on AWS Device Farm test devices?
Selecting Devices
AWS Device Farm | Mobile Services
Yes, test devices will have a number of apps pre-installed by the device manufacturer or carrier.
Are devices able to communicate with other services or systems that are available on the Internet?
Selecting Devices
AWS Device Farm | Mobile Services
Yes. All devices have a WiFi connection with Internet access. If your systems are internal (that is, behind a corporate firewall), you can whitelist the IP range 54.244.50.32-54.244.50.63. All device traffic will come from those IPs.
Can I test different carrier connections and conditions?
Selecting Devices
AWS Device Farm | Mobile Services
While you can’t test actual carrier connections, you can simulate connection types and conditions using the network shaping functionality. When scheduling a run, you can select a curated network profile like “3G” or “Lossy LTE,” or you can create your own, controlling parameters like throughput, jitter, and loss. All WiFi traffic from the device will be shaped and manipulated for the duration of your tests according to the profile you choose. You can also simulate dynamic environments by changing network parameters from your test scripts.
Can I make phone calls or send SMS from the devices?
Selecting Devices
AWS Device Farm | Mobile Services
No, devices do not have carrier connections and cannot make phone calls or send SMS messages.
