HeadSpin Server Connection

With HeadSpin Server, you don’t need to worry about setting up or maintaining physical mobile devices yourself. It’s a cloud-based automation framework that lets you test your Android and iOS apps on real devices hosted in the cloud. Using WebDriver, you can interact with those devices just like you would locally, except without the overhead of managing a local Appium server. This makes mobile testing simpler, faster to scale, and much easier to maintain.
