Abstract
A system is described for testing an application on one or more host devices in a host device farm. A build server uses an application programming interface (“API”) to send a test package containing an application to a test server. The sending may be initiated by a single action such as a click on a control in a user interface, or may be automatic such as on completion of a build. The test server may then execute and test the application across one or more host devices. These host devices may include smartphones, tablet computers, televisions, set-top boxes, in-vehicle computer systems, home entertainment systems, and so forth. Test results based at least in part on the execution of the application module on the one or more host devices may then be provided to the build server.
