Breaking Free: Announcing the Sauce Labs Real Device Access API

Sauce Labs has launched the Real Device Access API, a groundbreaking programmable mobile cloud designed to enhance software quality testing for high-maturity engineering teams. This API offers deep, device-level control that moves beyond traditional testing frameworks, enabling complex debugging, AI-driven workflows, and custom use cases without the limitations of standard mobile clouds. It provides framework-agnostic, low-latency device access with cloud-scale security, allowing extended session persistence, real-time visibility, and programmatic management of devices. By eliminating the constraints of in-house testing and offering the ability to execute raw commands and maintain longer sessions, it aims to free up innovation time for developers. The API is particularly suited for platform engineers, DevOps teams, SDETs, and mobile architects seeking to integrate flexible testing into CI/CD pipelines or manage sophisticated QA scenarios. With its unique combination of flexibility and efficiency, the Real Device Access API positions itself as a future-proof, AI-ready foundation for modern mobile engineering, enabling teams to focus on delivering world-class mobile experiences.
