TestArchitect and Remote TestKit

You can use Remote TestKit to remotely rent a wide variety of Android and iOS smartphones, with over 350 popular models to choose from, situated in locations around the world.

We use the Remote TestKit cloud service, provided by NTT Resonant, to test mobile applications (Learn more). The test procedures and test results when using TestArchitect in a cloud do not differ from using it inside a regular local network.

The makers of Remote TestKit offer their service as either a web application, accessible immediately from a web browser, or by means of a client software application. For automating with TestArchitect, however, it is necessary that you download and install the Remote TestKit Client application.

• WebKit:
