AWS Device Farm announces support for Rooted Android Private Devices

AWS Device Farm is an application testing service that provides web and mobile developers with desktop browsers and real mobile devices so that they can improve the quality of their apps. With today’s launch, we are adding support for Rooted Android devices in our private device fleets. With Rooted Android devices, customers will be able to perform advanced testing with expanded device access, including more metrics, battery benchmarking, and increased access to the device file system. You can request a Rooted Private Android Device in the US West (Oregon) region through the [Private Device purchase process](https://aws.amazon.com/device-farm/pricing/). To learn more about the feature and to get started, please visit our [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm/latest/developerguide/working-with-private-devices.html).
