Valuable Features

  • "I rate the stability an eight out of ten."
  • "What I like best about AWS Device Farm is that it offers actual physical devices that let you do more accurate testing because physical devices depict the live testing scenarios much better as opposed to emulated devices.AWS Device Farm is a pretty nice solution. Because it's an AWS service, you can use the CLI to tie in several steps that can create the pipeline, and run it efficiently. AWS Device Farm also gives you monitoring ability, observability, logging, etc., so I'm pretty satisfied with the solution."

Room for Improvement

  • "It is slow. It is super slow. Performance is an area that can be improved."
  • "An area for improvement in AWS Device Farm is that it lacks a lot of features that would tie it in with other AWS services. The solution doesn't have great connectivity with other services offered by AWS, for example, AWS Secrets Manager. This should be improved because a lot of times, that missing functionality hampers the quality and engineering standards in terms of deploying the full AWS suite of services.What I'd like to see in the next version of AWS Device Farm is for it to link better, or have some type of enrollment that would tie it in with other AWS services, such as EventBridge, Lambda, Secrets Manager, and any other new service from AWS."

Pricing

  • "AWS Device Farm is an expensive service overall. You pay per device, and the cost for each device isn't cheap.My company paid for a device slot. It's a yearly subscription for a single device slot, so that's more cost-effective for my company.On a scale of one to five, where one is very expensive and five is very cheap, I'd give AWS Device Farm a two. It's on the more expensive side."

A stable solution used for malware testing and APM that needs to improve its performance

Pros

"I rate the stability an eight out of ten."

Cons

"It is slow. It is super slow. Performance is an area that can be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We have used the solution for malware testing and APM.


What is most valuable?

Actually, it gives the whole log, especially the output reports. The best part is the video part. It gives us the whole video of our execution. It has some in-built functions where we could keep our external files, and then we can give all those references of external files in our code. So, basically, we are not required to keep all those folders related to those files in the root folder.

Gives more accurate results through physical devices that depict the live scenarios much better than emulated devices, but it doesn't have great connectivity with other services, and it's expensive

AWS Device Farm is a pretty nice solution. Because it's an AWS service, you can use the CLI to tie in several steps that can create the pipeline, and run it efficiently.

What is our primary use case?

I use AWS Device Farm as an emulation environment, and it's also where you can utilize real, physical devices that can install applications, then you can use Appium to run and perform tests on your applications on the devices set up on AWS Device Farm.

How has it helped my organization?

AWS Device Farm is beneficial to our company, and the benefits we get from it are the same as the benefits we receive from Appium because we use Appium in conjunction with AWS Device Farm.
