Description

There are services where a bunch of physical and/or emulated devices are hosted and accessible. Here's a break down o those:

Real devices:
  • TestDroid
  • https://cloud.testdroid.com/
  • Pay as you go: $0.99/device run. Across 200+ devices
  • Premium: $1500/month. Unlimited test runs on max 3 projects. Top priority. API into build systems.
  • Enterprise: waiting on response
  • Appthwack
  • https://appthwack.com/ (pretty site!)
  • Hobbyist: $29/month. Across top 10 devices. Unlimited runs. 1 user. 1 project. (including GS3)
  • Indie: $99/month. Across top 25 devices. Unlimited runs. 1 user. 1 project.
  • Pro: $299/month. Across top 180+ devices. Unlimited runs. 1 user. 1 project. (150 phones / 33 tablets)
  • Perfecto
  • DeviceAnywhere (ugly)
  • TestCloud
Emulator:

From some Googling for articles, it seems that TestDroid is the most trusted with Appthwack being an up and comer. Given that TestDroid can connect directly into Jenkins, this seems like an awesome opportunity for us. However, at the $1500/month price point, it could push us into Appthwack land if we don't want to take that hit.

Another option from zetetic:
http://xamarin.com/test-cloud
From Stephen: "I was at the Evolve conference last week and they did a demo of system, and it looks incredible with multiple options for test scripting, auto discovery, Jenkins integration, screenshots of failures, performance reports, and a wide number of supported devices. It's still in beta, but I think it stands to be a strong option in the space."
We signed up to the beta.
