  • android-testdpc

    Test DPC is a sample device policy controller for use with Android Enterprise. It gives developers the ability to see how their app will behave in a managed context such as device owner or within a managed profile. Users can set up a work profile, enable work apps, set applications restrictions, manage security polices, and much more. The app also serves as a implementation reference for other DPCs

  • stf

    Control and manage Android devices from your browser.

  • Hah I did the opposite.

    I set up an OpenSmartphoneTestFarm (openSTF) instance at the office so people working from home could fully control smartphones inside the office to debug wifi issues. Because some countries had lockdowns at different times, so it could be that production users could work in the office but some of our support people couldn't.

    It worked pretty well actually. https://openstf.io/

    But they dropped support on it and moved to another product (device farmer) which never seems to have materialised at all. I don't know what happened to it but we just kept running openstf until the end of the pandemic. It worked fine anyway.
