SAN FRANCISCO & NOIDA, India — TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the Full Stack Agentic AI Quality Engineering platform, announced real device support in Kane CLI. Developers can now test a mobile app on a real phone or tablet in the TestMu AI cloud straight from the terminal: they type what to test in plain English, and Kane taps through the app on a real Android or iOS device.
Until now, testing a mobile app on real hardware meant keeping a drawer of phones, or a separate device farm outside the developer’s workflow. With real device support, Kane CLI removes that dependency again now by giving terminal-first access to the real device cloud. Kane CLI on real devices gives teams:

- Real Android and iOS devices from any terminal. Kane CLI opens a real device in the TestMu AI cloud and taps through the app from natural language prompts. Developers pick a model and OS version, or let the cloud assign any available device.
- A live view of the device. The real device’s screen opens in its own window on the developer’s laptop and updates live as Kane CLI taps, so teams can watch the test as it runs.
- Saved, replayable tests. Each run becomes a saved test that can be replayed later without the AI re-deciding each tap, and re-run on the cloud grid at scale with a single command.
- Results in Test Manager. Every test, its steps, and screenshots land in TestMu AI Test Manager, like every other Kane test.
- Less setup. Android permissions and iOS alerts are handled automatically, and app builds (.apk, .aab, .ipa) upload once and are reused across runs.
Real device support is available today in Kane CLI 0.9.0 and later for customers on KaneAI Max or KaneAI credits with Real Device Plus Automation Cloud. To get started, visit testmuai.com/kane-cli.
