Abstract: A remote test infrastructure can enable a developer to use a local browser to run and test an application on a remote device. The remote device is coupled to a host machine and connected via a communication network to the browser. The infrastructure can stream a video feed of the display of the remote device to the browser, enabling the developer to examine the result of testing and development of the application running on the remote device. For applications that have features requiring audio input, the infrastructure can pair an external component, such as the host machine, as a virtual audio input device, mimicking an external microphone. The virtual audio input device can capture an audio file or an audio stream and provide the audio as input to the application running on the remote device thereby simulating the application receiving an input from an external microphone.

Abstract: A remote device infrastructure can be used to test and develop applications and websites. A user developer can select a number of remote devices at a remote location and test a programming application from a local machine. The remote devices run the programming application. The user interacts with mirrored displays of the remote devices on the local machine of the user. User inputs are transmitted to a remote device. The user can also enable a multisession mode, where the user can test a programming application on multiple remote devices and observe a display output of each remote device on the local machine of the user. The user can interact with any mirrored display of a remote devices in a multisession and observe a synced output in the other mirrored displays.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for enabling a developer to use a local browser, running on a local machine of the developer in a first location to access real devices (e.g., smart phones) at a second location, such as a data center. The developer can select and control the remote devices, in the second location. The described embodiments can capture developer's inputs from the first location and input them to the remote device in the second location. A video stream of the remote device is transmitted to the browser in the first location and displayed in a replica canvas on the developer's browser. The developer can interact with the canvas on his/her browser, as if the remote device were present in the first location.

Abstract: A software developer can use a local browser, running on a local machine of the developer in a first location to access a real device (e.g., a smart phone) at a second location, such as a datacenter. The developer can select and control the remote device, in the second location. A mirrored display of the remote device can be generated on the local machine by transmitting a video feed of the screen of the remote device to the local machine. The developer can interact with the mirrored display, and the interactions can be transmitted to the remote device. The developer can activate an accessibility mode via the local machine to test accessibility features of a program.

Abstract: A software development infrastructure can enable user developers to select remote hardware devices to develop and test their software programs. For some tests and development activity, the user may wish to test media playback on the remote device. The default configuration of network media transmission objects can be modified to use operating system media capture APIs to provide the user developer a media playback from a far-away remote device.

Abstract: A software development infrastructure can enable user developers to select remote hardware devices to develop and test their software programs. For some tests and development activity, physical access to the remote device can be provided by the infrastructure administrator by replacing the internal calls of an application with mimic code, which can respond to application requests for sensor data, as if the user was physically handling the remote device at the same location.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a software development architecture enabling users to locally test and develop software, can include using a multitude of remote devices of choice. The user can choose the remote devices, including the hardware and software on the remote device. The operator of the architecture can provide error analysis, without substantively inspecting the user's software calls and sensitive data. In some embodiments, traffic routing data is used to detect the source and type of a test session error, without inspecting the payload in the traffic.
