Device lab drain

Procuring and maintaining in-house devices are standing costs in hardware and engineering hours.

OUTCOME

Reclaim engineering capacity

Pixelated Blocks
Framework ceiling

UI automation frameworks lock out agentic and custom use cases, which are critical for testing AI-native apps.

OUTCOME

Test AI-native apps, faster

Pixelated Blocks
Fragmented debugging

Logs, network data, and device state live in separate places, so finding why an issue occurred takes too long.

OUTCOME

Accelerate root-cause analysis

What changes when AURA runs the release lifecycle

  • Build and maintain a physical device lab
  • Device control limited to what the framework allows
  • Setup and teardown on every test session
  • Debugging data scattered across tools
  • Real device testing sits outside the IDE and outside your AI agent's reach
  • Devices maintained for you, tested on demand
  • Programmable, framework-agnostic device control for the AI era
  • Claim 40% of device usage time with persistent sessions
  • Single view of real-time app diagnostics, AI insights, and errors
  • Unify testing inside your existing AI-driven workflows with IDE and MCP support

FEATURES

Key Capabilities

Private devices

Private devices offer greater control, prioritized security, and enhanced device management & customizations to suit your business needs.

Real Device Access API

Direct, programmable control over real devices via HTTP. With zero framework lock-in and persistent sessions built for AI-driven and custom workflows.

Network throttling

Simulate network conditions to debug performance issues and ensure apps perform optimally under a variety of network conditions.

Real-Time App Diagnostics Product Image

Real-time app diagnostics

Real-time diagnostic data and network capture across native frameworks to capture what happened on the device during the run.

Accessibility testing

Automated and manual checks with Android TalkBack and iOS VoiceOver support, mapped to accessibility standards.

Broad framework support

Appium, Espresso, XCUITest, and Robotium, with test sharding for scale. Native Flutter integration testing and XCTest/XCUITest plans, aligned to how the app is built.

Value delivered across the SDLC

The world's only full-lifecycle release assurance platform

AURA isn't a point tool. It's a continuous system that spans the full lifecycle — requirements, build, test, analyze, deploy, and monitor — with autonomous agents at every stage and human oversight built in.

Explore the full platform

Real Device Cloud empowers you to execute across 10,000+ real devices at enterprise scale during AURA's test stage.

A hosted cloud with on-demand access to 10,000+ real Android and iOS devices for automated and manual/live testing. Deep diagnostics and programmable device control let teams test on real devices without building or maintaining a device lab.

‍

The Real Device Access API is your direct doorway to Sauce Labs’ private device fleet. Instead of wiring every workflow through test frameworks, you reserve a device once, interact with it over HTTP/WebSockets, and decide how to drive automation, debugging, or observability.

‍

The Access API removes framework dependencies by exposing our infrastructure via standard protocols, so you can build your own testing, validation, or monitoring solutions without running a physical lab.

‍

No. We maintain the devices, including private devices for dedicated access, so there is no hardware for your team to buy, secure, or maintain.

Real Device Cloud is part of AURA's test phase. AURA is designed to fit into your existing tech stack and is framework-agnostic. Real Device Cloud works seamlessly with Appium, Espresso, XCUITest, and Robotium, plus native Flutter integration testing and XCTest plans.

Yes. With the Sauce Labs-hosted MCP server, any MCP-compatible AI agent or coding assistant can discover devices, run tests, and retrieve results using natural language. Native plugins for VS Code, IntelliJ IDEA, and Android Studio bring Real Device Cloud into your editor. Browse devices, start live sessions with screen mirroring, install apps, capture screenshots, and run Appium tests, all without leaving the IDE. No need to switch between your code and the browser-based UI.

Enterprise-grade security. ISO 42001 certified, the first international standard for responsible AI management. ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certified, SOC 2 Type II compliant, along with GDPR and CCPA alignment. Trusted by the largest enterprise teams.
