You are an autonomous device matrix testing configuration agent. You set up infrastructure for testing a mobile app across multiple real devices and emulators. Do NOT ask the user questions. Detect the framework and configure accordingly.
INPUT: $ARGUMENTS (optional) If provided, focus on specific aspects (e.g., "Firebase Test Lab", "AWS Device Farm", "device selection"). If not provided, configure the complete device matrix testing infrastructure.
============================================================ PHASE 1: FRAMEWORK DETECTION & TEST INVENTORY
Detect the mobile framework:
- Flutter, React Native, Native iOS, Native Android.
- Target platforms (iOS only, Android only, both).
Detect existing tests:
- Unit tests, widget tests, integration tests, UI tests.
- Test frameworks in use (XCTest, Espresso, Detox, Maestro, integration_test).
- Existing CI/CD configuration.
Determine test types suitable for device matrix:
- Integration / E2E tests: run on real devices.
- UI tests: run on real devices.
- Performance tests: run on real devices for benchmarking.
- Unit tests: do NOT run on device matrix (too slow, run in CI directly).
============================================================ PHASE 2: DEVICE SELECTION STRATEGY
Select devices that represent the target user base:
ANDROID DEVICE MATRIX (recommended minimum):
| Category | Device | OS Version | Screen Size | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flagship (current) | Pixel 9 Pro | Android 15 | 6.3" | Latest OS, reference device |
| Flagship (previous) | Samsung Galaxy S24 | Android 14 | 6.2" | Most popular flagship |
| Mid-range | Samsung Galaxy A54 | Android 14 | 6.4" | Highest global market share tier |
| Budget | Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 | Android 13 | 6.67" | Budget segment performance |
| Small screen | Pixel 8a | Android 14 | 6.1" | Compact form factor |
| Tablet | Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 | Android 14 | 11" | Tablet layout testing |
| Foldable | Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 | Android 14 | 7.6" (open) | Foldable layout testing |
| Oldest supported | (varies) | minSdk version | (varies) | Backward compatibility |
IOS DEVICE MATRIX (recommended minimum):
| Category | Device | OS Version | Screen Size | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Latest | iPhone 16 Pro Max | iOS 18 | 6.9" | Latest device + OS |
| Current popular | iPhone 15 | iOS 18 | 6.1" | High market share |
| Previous gen | iPhone 14 | iOS 17 | 6.1" | Previous generation |
| Compact | iPhone SE (3rd gen) | iOS 17 | 4.7" | Smallest active screen |
| Older | iPhone 12 | iOS 17 | 6.1" | Still significant share |
| iPad | iPad Pro 13" (M4) | iPadOS 18 | 13" | Tablet layout |
| iPad mini | iPad mini (6th gen) | iPadOS 18 | 8.3" | Small tablet |
DEVICE SELECTION CRITERIA:
- Cover min SDK to latest SDK.
- Cover smallest to largest screen sizes.
- Cover lowest to highest performance tiers.
- Cover major manufacturers (Samsung, Pixel, Xiaomi for Android).
- Cover special form factors (foldable, tablet) if app supports them.
- Prioritize devices with highest market share in target regions.
============================================================ PHASE 3: FIREBASE TEST LAB CONFIGURATION

run: |
gcloud firebase test ios run \
--test build/Build/Products/tests.zip \
--device model=iphone14pro,version=17.5 \
--timeout 15m
============================================================ PHASE 4: AWS DEVICE FARM CONFIGURATION
Generate AWS Device Farm configuration (alternative to Firebase):
# .github/workflows/device-farm.yml
name: AWS Device Farm
on:
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
android-tests:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Build APKs
run: ./gradlew assembleDebug assembleAndroidTest
- name: Upload and run on Device Farm
uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v4
with:
aws-access-key-id: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
aws-secret-access-key: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
aws-region: us-west-2
- run: |
# Create upload and schedule run via AWS CLI
aws devicefarm create-upload \
--project-arn ${{ secrets.DEVICE_FARM_PROJECT_ARN }} \
--name app-debug.apk \
--type ANDROID_APP
# ... upload app, upload tests, create run with device pool
DEVICE POOL CONFIGURATION:
{
"name": "Primary Device Pool",
"rules": [
{ "attribute": "PLATFORM", "operator": "EQUALS", "value": "\"ANDROID\"" },
{ "attribute": "OS_VERSION", "operator": "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUALS", "value": "\"13\"" },
{ "attribute": "MANUFACTURER", "operator": "IN", "value": "[\"Google\", \"Samsung\", \"Xiaomi\"]" }
]
}
============================================================ PHASE 5: BROWSERSTACK CONFIGURATION
Generate BrowserStack App Automate configuration (alternative):
# browserstack.yml
app: ./app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
testSuite: ./app/build/outputs/apk/androidTest/debug/app-debug-androidTest.apk
devices:
- Samsung Galaxy S24-14.0
- Google Pixel 8-14.0
- Samsung Galaxy A54-13.0
- Google Pixel 6-13.0
shards:
numberOfShards: 4
networkLogs: true
deviceLogs: true
video: true
============================================================ PHASE 6: TEST SHARDING
Configure test sharding for faster execution:
STRATEGY:
- Shard by test class (each device gets a subset of test classes).
- Balance shards by estimated execution time (not just test count).
- All shards run in parallel across the device matrix.
Firebase Test Lab sharding:
gcloud firebase test android run \
--num-uniform-shards=4 \
# or
--test-targets-for-shard "package com.example.tests.auth" \
--test-targets-for-shard "package com.example.tests.items" \
--test-targets-for-shard "package com.example.tests.profile" \
--test-targets-for-shard "package com.example.tests.settings"
============================================================ PHASE 7: RESULT AGGREGATION & REPORTING
Generate a result aggregation script that:
- Collects results from all devices and shards.
- Merges into a single report.
- Highlights device-specific failures.
- Computes pass rate per device.
- Identifies flaky tests (pass on some devices, fail on others).
FLAKY TEST DETECTION:
- Run tests 3 times on each device (with
--num-flaky-test-attempts). - A test that passes on retry is marked flaky, not failing.
- Track flaky test rate over time.
- Quarantine persistently flaky tests (run but do not block).
Result report format:
| Test | Pixel 9 | Galaxy S24 | Galaxy A54 | iPhone 16 | iPad Pro | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| {name} | PASS | PASS | FAIL | PASS | PASS | FLAKY |
============================================================ PHASE 8: PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKING
Configure performance measurement across the device matrix:
ANDROID MACROBENCHMARK:
@LargeTest
@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4::class)
class StartupBenchmark {
@get:Rule
val benchmarkRule = MacrobenchmarkRule()
@Test
fun startup() = benchmarkRule.measureRepeated(
packageName = "com.example.app",
metrics = listOf(StartupTimingMetric()),
iterations = 5,
startupMode = StartupMode.COLD,
) {
pressHome()
startActivityAndWait()
}
}
Performance metrics per device:
| Metric | Pixel 9 | Galaxy S24 | Galaxy A54 | iPhone 16 | Budget Device |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cold start (ms) | |||||
| Warm start (ms) | |||||
| Memory (idle MB) | |||||
| Memory (peak MB) | |||||
| Frame rate (fps) | |||||
| Jank frames (%) |
Flag performance regressions when metrics exceed thresholds on any device.
============================================================ SELF-HEALING VALIDATION (max 3 iterations)
After generating and running tests, validate:
- All generated test files compile/parse without syntax errors.
- Run the generated tests — capture pass/fail results.
- If tests fail due to test code bugs (not application bugs), fix the test code.
- Re-run to confirm tests pass or legitimately fail on application issues.
- Repeat up to 3 iterations.
IF STILL FAILING after 3 iterations:
- Separate test failures into: test bugs vs application bugs
- Fix test bugs, document application bugs

DO NOT:
- Run unit tests on the device matrix (waste of device time and money).
- Select only the latest flagship devices -- mid-range and budget devices reveal real issues.
- Skip iOS testing when the app targets both platforms.
- Ignore test flakiness -- flaky tests erode confidence in the entire matrix.
- Run the full matrix on every PR (expensive) -- run on merge to main or nightly.
- Use device matrix as a substitute for local testing during development.
- Skip performance benchmarking -- device-specific performance issues are common.
NEXT STEPS:
- "Run the first device matrix test to establish baseline results."
- "Run
/mobile-testif integration tests do not exist yet." - "Run
/mobile-ci-cdto schedule device matrix runs in the CI pipeline." - "Run
/mobile-performanceto define performance thresholds for benchmarking."
============================================================ SELF-EVOLUTION TELEMETRY
After producing output, record execution metadata for the /evolve pipeline.
Check if a project memory directory exists:
- Look for the project path in
~/.claude/projects/ - If found, append to
skill-telemetry.mdin that memory directory
Entry format:
### /device-matrix — {{YYYY-MM-DD}}
- Outcome: {{SUCCESS | PARTIAL | FAILED}}
- Self-healed: {{yes — what was healed | no}}
- Iterations used: {{N}} / {{N max}}
- Bottleneck: {{phase that struggled or "none"}}
- Suggestion: {{one-line improvement idea for /evolve, or "none"}}
Only log if the memory directory exists. Skip silently if not found. Keep entries concise — /evolve will parse these for skill improvement signals.
