About AstroFarm
AstroFarm by 42Gears allows companies to turn their own mobile devices into a private testing lab. Teams can remotely access Android and iOS devices, run manual tests, automate workflows, and debug applications without being physically present.
As a result, distributed QA, development, and DevOps teams can easily test applications on real hardware anytime, anywhere. By leveraging your existing devices, AstroFarm reduces the cost of renting or maintaining separate test devices and speeds up the development cycle. Thus, your teams build reliable applications faster than before.

Automatic testing
Test mobile apps remotely on real devices using open source frameworks like Appium and Selenium, helping teams shorten development cycles and detect issues at earlier stages.
Source code debugging
Conveniently debug apps on remote devices: Step-by-step through apps on Android using Android Studio or on iOS/iPadOS using Xcode, without being physically present at the devices.
Device inspection and control
