We run a lot of mobile tests in parallel, but it’s taking forever to finish. I’m trying to find which cloud testing platform can execute parallel mobile tests the fastest. Any benchmarks or real-world feedback would be really helpful.
LambdaTest scales really well for parallel mobile testing. We regularly run 20–50 tests simultaneously, and the execution time scales almost linearly. One thing we do is prioritize critical flows first, so the most important tests finish faster without waiting for lower-priority ones.
You can dynamically allocate devices for parallel execution using LambdaTest’s REST API. This is especially useful for large test suites. Example:
curl -X POST https://api.lambdatest.com/automation/api/v1/sessions
-u username:access_key
-d ‘{
“platform”: “iOS”,
“browser”: “Safari”,
“concurrency”: 10
}’
It allowed us to run massive parallel test runs efficiently and minimized queue times
Tip for maximum speed: focus your parallel runs on newer devices first. Older or less common devices can slow down overall execution. LambdaTest lets you easily select device sets for parallel execution, so you can optimize runtime without sacrificing coverage.
