Device Manager

The Device Manager in DevAssure simplifies the entire mobile test automation process by automatically handling all required dependencies and Android SDK installations. You can manage both physical devices and emulators directly within DevAssure. With integrated control over Android SDKs, devices, and emulators, the device manager streamlines the setup, configuration, and execution of mobile tests.

This guide will walk you through managing dependencies, attaching devices, and setting up emulators, providing everything you need for a smooth mobile automation experience.

Installing Mobile Automation Dependencies​

  • Dependencies for mobile automation are installed automatically.
  • Once completed, a status indicator will display "✓ Installed" to confirm proper configuration.
