Remote Test Lab

Home > Devices > Remote Test Lab

The Remote Test Lab is a solution that enables developers to control devices remotely.
Using the Remote Test Lab service, you can test your application on a real device.

Go to Remote Test Lab

The Remote Test Lab service enables developers to access Samsung mobile devices through the web and to install and test applications on the devices.

This is not only the most effective and easiest way to test the compatibility of an application with Samsung mobile devices but also the best way to cut down on hardware costs for test devices.

Interaction with the device is performed over the network in real time allowing you to comprehensively test your application before distributing it.
