Building a Scalable Infrastructure for Mobile UI Test Execution

In an era of rapid mobile development cycles, maintaining reliable, efficient, and scalable UI test automation is a critical challenge for engineering teams. With thousands of test cases running across multiple devices, emulators, and cloud environments, traditional test execution strategies fail to scale, leading to slow feedback loops, high maintenance costs, and infrastructure bottlenecks. We will explore cutting-edge strategies for building a scalable UI test execution infrastructure, leveraging orchestration tools, cloud-native solutions, and in-house hardware optimizations. The session will cover: optimizing test execution pipelines to reduce flakiness and speed up results, scaling tests across cloud and in-house servers for cost-effective automation, utilizing Kubernetes, Docker, and virtualized environments for parallel execution, handling real vs. mock network dependencies in large-scale mobile UI testing, and ensuring CI/CD integration with tools like Marathon, Flank, and Xcodebuild. Get real-world insights from large-scale test automation implementations and practical solutions for QA leaders, automation engineers, and DevOps teams looking to future-proof their mobile test strategies. Whether you’re running tests for a startup or a global enterprise, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to build a robust, scalable, and high-performing UI test infrastructure. Learn how to eliminate bottlenecks, reduce test execution time, and take your mobile test automation to the next level!
