Use Cloud private mobile devices

Requirements

• You Account has the Private Dedicated Device subscription.

Test Execution - Cloud provides you with a wide range of real mobile devices, in both iOS and Android, to execute mobile tests. With Test Execution - Cloud private mobile devices, you can have more control over your test devices compared to shared devices:

• Non-shared environment: Private devices are dedicated to your organization, ensuring high availability and consistent performance.
• Enhanced data privacy: With complete control over the data stored on the device, you reduce the risk of exposing this data to other users or third parties.
• Session retention: Private devices come with longer session retention, allow you first configure device functionalities and later perform multiple tests without having to reconfigure from scratch.

With a Test Execution - Cloud private device subscription, you can perform tests on private mobile devices just as you would on shared devices:

• Run mobile native application tests
• Run mobile browser tests

In Katalon Studio, when selecting device in the Test Execution - Cloud Configuration dialog, you can find the private device at the top of the list with the UDID.

In True Platform when selecting device for cloud-hosted configurations, private devices are labeled with their UDIDs.
