Test Across the Devices That Matter to Your Users

Access real devices remotely without building and maintaining your own device lab. Test across different hardware, OS versions, screen sizes, browsers, networks, and regional configurations.

Android device testing

Android

Test on real Android phones and tablets from Samsung, Google, Motorola, Vivo, Oppo, and other manufacturers.

Android device testing

iOS

Run manual and automated tests on real iPhones and iPads across different device and OS configurations.

Android device testing

Web

Validate websites and web applications across real mobile and desktop browser environments.

Test Beyond the Device

A real device is only part of the user experience. Network conditions and location can change how the same application behaves.

HeadSpin lets teams test across the combination that matters.

Real Devices

Run tests on physical devices with real hardware, operating systems, and device-specific behavior.

Real Networks

Test on SIM-enabled devices connected to real carrier and Wi-Fi networks to understand how connectivity affects the experience.

Real Locations

Access devices across 50+ global locations to validate application behavior and performance in the markets you serve.

Run Your Existing Tests on Real Devices

Keep the automation workflows your team already uses.HeadSpin integrates with 60+ automation frameworks and tools, including:

See More Than Pass or Fail

A test can pass while the experience gets slower.

HeadSpin captures 130+ performance KPIs across application, device, and network layers during testing, helping teams understand how their applications perform under real conditions.

Regression Intelligence

Compare results across builds to identify performance changes before they reach users.

Go From Test Failure to Root Cause

When a test fails, finding the reason should not require switching between disconnected tools.Use session and performance data from the same test to investigate what happened.

Air-Gapped On-Prem

Run real device testing within an isolated environment when external connectivity is restricted.

Real Devices vs. Emulators and Simulators

Emulators and simulators are useful for fast testing during development. Real devices become important when hardware, networks, device-specific behavior, and actual performance can affect the user experience.
