Session Description

With the Android 16 release, Google has officially adopted Cuttlefish—its high-fidelity virtual Android device platform—as the new reference target, replacing Pixel hardware in AOSP. In this session, we’ll learn how to scale your Android test suite by parallelizing Cuttlefish instances in the cloud. You’ll walk away with a blueprint for configuring, orchestrating, and cost-effectively running large-scale, high-fidelity Android tests on Google Cloud.

Key Takeaways

With Android16, full device support in AOSP is only available on cuttlefish; it'd be good to know how that is evolving.
