Real device cloud testing
Real device cloud testing for Mobile apps
An emulator-green suite still ships bugs. Klarent runs your mobile tests on real devices and emulators together, so the run reflects what your users actually hold.
What only a real device catches
What emulators approximate, and real devices catch
Touch, gesture and sensor behavior
Emulators approximate touch pressure, multi-touch gestures and sensor input - real devices do not.
Camera and biometric flows
Camera capture, Face ID, fingerprint and other hardware-dependent flows have gaps on emulator images.
Real network and battery conditions
Battery state, thermal throttling and real-world network variability behave differently than a clean emulator.
OEM firmware quirks
Samsung, Xiaomi and other OEM firmware customizations are absent from stock emulator images entirely.
Permissions and system UI behavior
Permission prompts, notification behavior, background restrictions and system-level UI can vary across real devices and OS versions.
Platform
Everything your mobile QA team needs
From generating your first test to keeping it green after every app update. Klarent handles every step.

Platform capabilities
Real devices and emulators, one platform
Real devices and emulators, unified
The same test code runs on either - no separate suites to author or maintain.
Parallel execution, clean state every run
Run across your full device and OS matrix in parallel, with a clean device state reset between runs.
Network condition simulation
Simulate slow networks, drops and interruptions to see how the app actually recovers.
Full run evidence
Video, device logs and screenshots on every run, for real devices and emulators alike.
Flexible deployment
Cloud, on-premise, or a hybrid device pool - whichever fits your data policy.
Enterprise controls
SSO, role-based access and full audit trails for regulated environments.
How it works
How device execution works in Klarent
Upload a build, or pull from CI/CD
Bring your APK, IPA or AAB directly, or connect your existing pipeline.
Select the device and OS matrix
Pin the exact devices and OS versions per suite or release, mixing real devices and emulators.
Run in parallel, get full evidence
Every run returns video, logs and screenshots, across the whole matrix at once.
Get notified where your team works
Send test results and failure alerts to Slack, Microsoft Teams or email as soon as runs complete.
Deployment and enterprise
Cloud, on-premise, or your own private pool
Cloud, on-prem or hybrid
Run against Klarent's cloud device pool, an on-premise pool behind your firewall, or a hybrid mix.
Private device pools
Dedicated devices for banking, insurance, healthcare and government workloads that cannot share hardware.
Built for compliance
SSO, role-based access and audit trails come standard, not as an add-on.
Integrations
Fits into your existing stack
Connect to GitHub, Jira, Slack, and more - no reconfiguring your workflow.
Trust & security
Security that scales with your business.
Enterprise grade security isn't a checkbox - it's baked into every layer of Klarent.
ISO 27001 certified
Internationally recognised information security management, independently verified.
SOC 2 compliant
Rigorous third-party audit of our security, availability, and confidentiality controls.
Multi-layer encryption
Data encrypted in transit and at rest, with granular access controls throughout.
Flexible deployment
Cloud, private cloud, or on-premises - deploy Klarent to meet your compliance requirements.
Custom model fine-tuning
Leverage your proprietary test data and test data automation to fine-tune domain-specific models and create tailored QA solutions that fit your stack and workflows.
24/7 Enterprise Support
White-glove assistance with human in the loop testing experts to maximize performance and reliability.
Klarent vs. traditional QA
Klarent vs self-managed device labs and other device clouds
| Self-managed device lab | Other device clouds | Klarent | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup cost | Buy, provision and maintain physical devices | Subscription, locked to their device catalog | Cloud, on-prem or hybrid - no hardware to own |
| Emulators and real devices | Real devices only, no unified suite | Usually real devices only | Real devices and emulators in one suite, same test code |
| Network and hardware conditions | Limited to what your lab can simulate | Varies by provider | Network simulation plus camera, biometric and sensor coverage |
| Enterprise controls | Whatever you build yourself | Varies by plan | SSO, role-based access and audit trails included |
| Evidence per run | Manual capture, if any | Basic logs, typically | Video, logs and screenshots on every run |

FAQs
Running your mobile tests on physical iOS and Android devices hosted in the cloud, instead of only on emulators or simulators, so results reflect what a real user's hardware actually does.
Emulators are fast and cheap for everyday functional checks. Real devices catch what emulators approximate - touch and gesture behavior, camera and biometric flows, battery and thermal state, and OEM firmware quirks. Klarent runs the same test on either, so you are not choosing once and living with it.
A broad matrix of current and recent iOS and Android devices and OS versions is available out of the box, and you can pin a specific matrix per suite or release.
Yes. Klarent supports cloud, on-premise, and hybrid device pools, including dedicated private pools for teams that cannot share hardware.
Runs execute across your device and OS matrix in parallel, with a clean device state reset between runs, so parallelism does not come at the cost of reliability.
Yes. Every device gets a clean state reset between runs, and enterprise controls - SSO, role-based access and audit trails - are available for regulated environments.
Yes. Real device execution covers camera capture, Face ID, fingerprint and other hardware-dependent flows that emulators cannot fully replicate.
Yes. Klarent can simulate slow networks, drops and interruptions to validate how the app behaves and recovers under real-world conditions.
Yes. Tests are authored once and run on either target - there is no separate test code to maintain for emulators versus real devices.
