Delivering high-quality apps is essential for emerging teams, but accessing enterprise-level testing platforms is often costly and complex. Recognizing these needs, we are excited to introduce CloudTest Lite - a cost-effective testing solution specifically designed for individual testers and emerging teams.

Current Market Challenges in Testing for Emerging Teams

1. High Costs and Budget Constraints

Most testing platforms cater to large enterprises, offering extensive features and device infrastructure at a premium price and providing emulators and simulators in individual plans. Emerging teams with limited testing needs struggle to justify high costs for procuring enterprise solutions that cover out-of-scope elements such as automation and performance testing.

2. Limited Test Session Durations

Many platforms restrict session duration (e.g., capping tests at 5–10 minutes), forcing emerging teams to restart sessions frequently, wasting valuable time.

3. Limitations with debugging and complex gesture support

Emerging teams require essential debugging capabilities, but many solutions lack debugging features like ADB shell, making it harder to locate and resolve issues effectively. No inbuilt features to remotely control devices using complex gestures - without which many complicated user journeys get left out.

4. Security and Data Privacy Concerns

Often, solutions do not offer automatic device cleaning, but businesses need assurance that their app data is erased after each session when using public cloud devices.

What is CloudTest Lite?

CloudTest Lite is a cost-effective, real-device testing solution for emerging teams needing unrestricted manual and functional testing. With access to real Android and iOS devices on HeadSpin’s Public Device Cloud, it enables seamless testing, advanced debugging, and higher productivity - all within a flexible and affordable plan.
