Quash Mobile Device Farm is a paid mobile testing platform from Brisk Labs for real Android and iOS devices, emulators, and local hardware. It runs tests in parallel across device matrices, and visual flows on real devices do not require scripts. Its desktop app turns plain-language instructions into executable mobile test actions and checks API responses and database state during the same run as UI testing. Each desktop test run generates a report with steps, screenshots, and logs. Native downloads are available for macOS Apple Silicon, macOS Intel, and Windows. Integrations include GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Vercel, Jenkins, Slack, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and MCP. Quash lists GDPR, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, and DPDPA compliance, and says it does not store, retain, or use customer data for AI model training. Enterprise options include private VPC or on-premise deployment, custom data residency, SSO, RBAC, and SCIM provisioning. Pricing is available on request, billed monthly or annually, and based mainly on test execution volume; dedicated devices cost extra. There is no free plan, but a free trial and guided evaluation are available. Full web-app testing is on the roadmap; current support covers Android and iOS simulators.
