Why Real Device Cloud is the next big thing in QA?

The constant proliferation of smartphones in the past decade has led to an increase in the growth of mobile application development. The trend among the organizations (Banking, e-commerce, retailers, individual businesses, etc) to develop mobile applications for providing handy services to their customers is constantly increasing.

The competition among the organizations to go mobile has put forth a challenge for the developers as well as QA to roll out robust applications for the end-users. QAs need to ensure that mobile apps are thoroughly tested before they are made public.

For ensuring a seamless user experience on a variety of devices and operating systems, testers need to test their apps on real devices rather than just using any random online android emulator or ios simulator. Maintaining and upgrading physical device labs involve large overheads.

Here’s where QAs can leverage platforms like BrowserStack that provide real device cloud. It comprises of real android, ios, desktop and tablet devices. Organizations can now get rid of maintaining physical infrastructures (device labs) and focus more on testing outcomes.

Besides it also provides you features like IP geolocation testing and network throttling that helps you analyze the performance of your applications in poor network conditions. Hence ensuring that the web-app is tested thoroughly.

In a competitive world where every organization needs to stay ahead in the curve, it’s becoming vital for teams to move their physical device labs to real device cloud. Adapting a real device cloud will not only eliminate overheads but also help teams to ship products faster with confidence.
