AWS Device Farm vs Xamarin Test Cloud: What are the differences?

Developers describe AWS Device Farm as "Test your app on real devices in the AWS Cloud". Run tests across a large selection of physical devices in parallel from various manufacturers with varying hardware, OS versions and form factors. On the other hand, Xamarin Test Cloud is detailed as "Automatically test your app on 1,000 devices in the cloud". Run your app on our huge (and growing) collection of real devices from around the world. Select devices based on form factor, manufacturer, operating system, or even popularity in your target market. We’re adding over 100 devices every month, and if there’s a specific device you need, we’re taking requests.

AWS Device Farm belongs to "Load and Performance Testing" category of the tech stack, while Xamarin Test Cloud can be primarily classified under "Mobile Test Automation".

Some of the features offered by AWS Device Farm are:

• Test on the same devices your customers use
• Fix issues faster and delight your users
• Simulate real-world environments

On the other hand, Xamarin Test Cloud provides the following key features:

• Automate your app using real tools & languages.
• Interact as users do.
• Use any device feature.
