Compare AWS Device Farm vs. Azure DevTest Labs

AWS Device Farm is a service designed for application testing that enhances the quality of both web and mobile applications by allowing users to conduct tests across a wide variety of desktop browsers and actual mobile devices, all without the need to set up or manage any testing infrastructure. This service permits concurrent execution of tests on numerous desktop browsers or physical devices, thereby accelerating the overall testing process, and it produces videos and logs that facilitate the quick identification of any issues within your application. You can evaluate your app in parallel on a vast array of real devices hosted in the AWS Cloud, utilizing one of the built-in frameworks for testing without the necessity to create or maintain test scripts, or you can opt for a supported automation testing framework. Engage with devices in real time through gestures, swipes, and interactions directly from your web browser, and seamlessly run your Selenium tests concurrently across various versions of Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox available in the AWS Cloud, ensuring comprehensive coverage and efficient testing practices. With AWS Device Farm, you can significantly streamline your testing workflow while ensuring your applications meet high-quality standards.

Rapidly establish development and testing environments while effectively reducing waste through the implementation of quotas and policies. Implement automated shutdowns to keep costs low and create environments for both Windows and Linux systems. Offer self-service cloud solutions that eliminate concerns about management, as lab policies and thresholds seamlessly contribute to cost reduction. Set up your virtual machine equipped with essential development tools and the latest build in just a few clicks, enabling your team to share reusable templates effortlessly. Directly generate environments from your continuous integration (CI) tools by utilizing our plug-ins, REST API, or the Visual Studio Team Services extension. Configure lab policies to automatically manage the start-up and shutdown of virtual machines, ensuring operational efficiency. Establish limits for your lab, such as the maximum number of virtual machines allowed per user and per lab, to maintain control. Analyze lab cost trends to forecast your expenditures and define a spending threshold for better budget management. Employ our REST API to provision development and testing environments directly from continuous integration (CI) tools, allowing for an integrated workflow. In addition, you can swiftly deploy from your release pipeline using our Team Services tasks extension, ensuring a streamlined and efficient process. This comprehensive approach not only enhances productivity but also fosters collaboration across your development teams.
