Using The All Actions Tab to Test Apps on Real Devices
Overview
The All Actions tab on the Pcloudy platform brings together powerful tools for in depth inspection, debugging, and advanced interaction with real devices. It allows testers to inspect UI elements, perform local testing, and validate application behavior directly within a real Chrome browser session. Testers can simulate real user inputs through extensive keyboard actions, evaluate performance under different network conditions using network profile simulation, and validate geo specific experiences by mocking device location. Language updates help verify localization and accessibility flows, while image injection enables testing of features such as QR code scanning.
Together, these capabilities give teams precise control to analyze, validate, and optimize applications on real devices with speed and confidence.
