A cloud-based real device testing platform offers benefits for mobile app development and QA teams who need to test their apps under real-world conditions, providing a comprehensive mobile app testing strategy by combining virtual devices with real devices. Real device testing is the practice of installing the latest build of a mobile app on a real mobile device to test its functionality in real-world conditions, offering more accurate test results but being less ideal for scaling and automation. A real device cloud provides on-demand access to real iOS, Android, and other mobile devices, allowing teams to test their apps on different device/OS combinations to get real-world feedback and ensure optimal coverage for their target customers, with benefits including secure access anytime, anywhere, easier scalability, increased team productivity, expanded device coverage, no maintenance or updates required, and accelerated test execution.
