Smartphone Test Farm (STF) is a self-hosted web application for remotely controlling and debugging Android smartphones, smartwatches, and other gadgets directly from a browser. It manages a shared pool of physical devices, letting teams book, view, and interact with them remotely. The OpenSTF project is no longer actively developed; development continues under the DeviceFarmer fork.
Use cases
- remotely control an android phone from the browser
- set up a shared device farm for mobile testing
- debug an android device without physically holding it
- let a team share a pool of test smartphones
- run manual app testing on real devices remotely
- manage a lab of android devices over the network
When to choose
- you need browser-based remote access to real Android devices
- you want a self-hosted shared device lab for a team
- you need to debug or demo apps on physical hardware remotely
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - use the DeviceFarmer fork instead
- you only need emulator-based or cloud device testing
- you need iOS device support, which this project does not provide
