How we increased emulator farm efficiency and accelerated automated UI testing on Android

Problem: running Android automated UI tests on emulators takes a long time, provides false positives, and crashes occur frequently. Due to this, the results are often unreliable.

Solution: the talk shows how to identify and solve stability problems when running tests on emulators.

Ivan is going to share the configurations created during experiments and the results achieved from accelerating and increasing stability.

Technologies used: Kubernetes, OpenSTF, QEMU. Will be of interest to companies developing their own automated testing infrastructure.
