Device Passcode in App Automation on Real Devices

Real Device

For certain use cases, you may need to perform tests on devices that are passcode-protected. Apps handling sensitive data (for example, banking apps, enterprise apps, or apps distributed through MDM) often enforce device passcodes for enhanced security.

TestMu AI’s Device Passcode in Automation enables you to run such automated tests seamlessly on real devices.
