Remote Application Testing on multiple actual devices without buying them...

Instead of buying an Android device for testing purposes I’ve decided to look for other options and found those…

I’m curious if anybody here currently using (or ever used) them? Or are there other similar services?

I can’t say that I have ever used a service like this but it certainly looks interesting.

I only checked out the prices on perfectomobile but they look very reasonable if there are not any hidden fees or the like :slight_smile:

Actually, I have gone ahead and signed up for Samsung one.

It gives 10 free credits per day and that’s equal to 2,5 hours of testing.

I’m currently presented wide range of devices including galaxy tab, hosted on China, Korea, PL & UK. OS versions from 2.1 to 2.3.3. Currently all available but they also have a reservation system.

I’ll compile something later today and use my 2 credits for it :wink: [import]uid: 10478 topic_id: 11588 reply_id: 42090[/import]

I’ve tried using Samsung’s service a bit, and results are not bad at all!

There is no sound and frame rates very low but it can help for testing if the app is working, screen setup is right, etc.

Currently they have most of their current devices such as galaxy tab, galaxy s & galaxy s 2 and few more…

First few devices I’ve tried didn’t work right, but eventually it works.

I’ve complied ghosts & monsters sample for my test, installation of APK is drag & drop.

UI offers screen caps & video caps.

Here is my recording of the test session after APK installation.

I’ve definitely heard of perfecto mobile. Though I haven’t used it personally, I think it may be worth looking into. [import]uid: 11917 topic_id: 11588 reply_id: 42175[/import]
