About
BrowserStack is a service that provides instant access to 2,000+ real mobile devices and browsers on a highly reliable cloud infrastructure. It is the world’s leading software testing platform powering over two million tests every day across 15 global data centers. It can scale as testing needs grow.
Founded in 2011, BrowserStack is a privately held company backed by Accel with offices in San Francisco, Mumbai, and Dublin.
Role in Test Automation
BrowserStack serves a device hosts so that automated tests can be run on virtual or real devices remotely from the web. The Test Automation solution for SimplyE initiates a session on a device, install the app and runs through the test cases established in the test suite. The solution allows the community to test specific test on an array of devices and device configurations if needed.
As a default the test suite runs when a Commit is made to the mobile app binary repo on Github for Android and iOS.
