The PC Real Device Execution Environment is a test execution environment where browsers run on actual physical computers provided by our partner external device farms. This environment is available to customers with a paid optional contract. Once contracted, it can be selected from the "Execution Environment" settings in your Test Plan. Please note that this option will not appear if it is not part of your current plan.
Key Features
- Access to a Wider Range of OS and Browsers: Use OS and browser combinations not available in the Autify Cloud environment, such as Firefox, Safari, macOS, Windows 10, and Windows 11.

Important Considerations
There are several differences between the PC Real Device environment and the Autify Cloud environment. Please review the following before use:
-
Language Settings: Depending on default language settings , some parts of the UI may be displayed in English.
-
Execution Speed: Test execution is slower than the Autify Cloud environment (it may take 3 to 10 times longer).
-
Parallel Execution: Depending on your contract, tests in the external device farm environment may be executed one by one.
-
Maximum Execution Time: For external device farm environments, the maximum execution time is 120 minutes (compared to 150 minutes for Cloud). If a single scenario takes too long, it will result in an internal error and the test will be automatically terminated.
-
File Uploads: While the limitations for file upload steps are generally the same as the Cloud environment, uploads near the size limit may cause scenarios to fail in the external device farm environment.
-
Autify Connect Requirements: When using Autify Connect, in addition to the standard Cloud requirements, you must allow *.browserstack.com in your network settings.
