Key Capabilities

Maximize device coverage Test native and hybrid mobile apps across the widest range of real devices, including iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Oppo, Huawei, Xiaomi, and more.

Test at scale - from anywhere, anytime Easily scale automated tests to meet your business needs, not your infrastructure limits. Test on the specific device and OS configurations that matter to your users — from anywhere, on any schedule.

Reduce costs and operational burden Reclaim engineering time for building, not maintaining. Eliminate the pain of procuring, maintaining, and updating on-premises devices so your teams can focus on app development and innovation.

Debug and Resolve Faster Cut through the log noise and pinpoint root causes fast with AI-powered insights, a range of test assets, and app diagnostic signals. Less guesswork. Shorter resolution cycles.

Speed up test execution Reduce execution time by running real device tests across multiple devices in parallel. Move fast by integrating directly into your existing CI/CD pipeline.

Full lifecycle quality, one platform With the Sauce Mobile suite, Real Device Cloud is part of a unified platform that integrates real device validation, app distribution, and production monitoring.

Real Device Access API

The industry’s first framework-agnostic and modern programmable mobile cloud, provides developers with deep, device-level control to accelerate AI-driven workflows.

Available as an add-on for our Real Device Cloud Private Devices.

Choose the Device Type that Meets Your Needs

Public devices Maximize your testing coverage and quality across the widest selection of secure real devices for manual and automated testing.

Private devices Get exclusive access to dedicated devices, ensuring more secure control over testing workflows and optimizing for your organization’s specific requirements.

Emulators and Simulators Scale testing efforts early in the cycle. Use virtual devices to cost-effectively simulate environments and configurations.

Release Quality Mobile Apps Faster

Leverage the broadest suite of app diagnostic signals to reach the root cause of test failures and errors faster.

Resolve errors and crashes: Get complete context on errors and crashes when they occur. Automatic error and crash data collection requires no SDK integration or dependency configuration.

Detect and resolve UI issues: Quickly identify interface elements that didn’t behave as expected, review user interaction flows, and associate session actions directly with app UI events.

Capture API and HTTP/S requests: Identify the source of app issues faster, and understand your app’s behavior by capturing and analyzing API and HTTP/S requests and responses.

Understand app performance Real-time device vitals — CPU usage, memory usage, and UI responsiveness — give your team deeper visibility into appperformance.

View and share test results: Achieve faster resolution by easily viewing and sharing complete diagnostic information and test results, including videos, test logs, and more.

Accelerate Appium test authoring and debugging: Swiftly inspect elements within your application and resolve test automation script issues without the hassle of additional configuration or installation.

Test as Real-World Users

FunctionDescription
Network ThrottlingOptimize apps for various network conditions by simulating scenarios on iOS/Android.
GPS Location SpoofingTest geolocation-based applications by easily adjusting the GPS location on devices.
Camera & Audio InjectionTest your app's camera or speech-to-text functionality by mimicking system behavior.
Biometric AuthenticationAccess test flows dependent on biometrics and verify your app's response to settings.
Mobile Carrier NetworksTest scenarios not feasible with WiFi alone by connecting private devices to a carrier network.
Manual Screen ReaderTest behavior on devices, including keyboard navigation, taps, and audio feedback, using iOS Accessibility Inspector and Android TalkBack.

Speed Up Manual and Automated Testing

Testing Type Description
Manual (live) testing The best customer experience is built on real-world validation. Test across different mobile devices, operating systems, and form factors to replicate the exact conditions your users encounter.
Automated testing Use your existing test scripts with Appium, Espresso, and XCUITest. Scale your automated functional and performance tests to maximize coverage without rewriting your workflows or rethinking your toolchain.

Extensive Integrations and Frameworks

MCP: Give AI agents natural-language access to real devices, sessions, and test data through the Sauce hosted MCP Server.

IDE: Discover, provision, and debug real devices without leaving Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, or IntelliJ.

Frameworks:

CI/CD:
