Sauce Labs offers the ability to run automated tests on our real device cloud using UI Automator and Espresso, the native app testing framework for Android.
To begin, you'll need to download and configure our test runner, Sauce Runner for Real Devices, which is parameterized for use in your CI/CD environments. This will enable you to run tests against one or more devices in parallel, with test reporting that includes video, screenshots, and logs of your tests. As an alternative, you can also run Espresso and UI Automator tests from the Sauce Labs web interface.
What You'll Need
