To better support your growing development needs, we are consolidating our
device access and testing services onto the
**Developer Device Platform** , a new Google Cloud-native suite designed
for enterprise-scale remote device orchestration.

As we scale this new platform, we are **deprecating Firebase Test Lab** . Your
test executions will be supported in Firebase Test Lab until **September 30,
2027** . We encourage customers to begin migrating workflows to the
Developer Device Platform, and have
[resources](https://docs.cloud.google.com/developer-device-platform/device-run/migrate)
available to assist
you through this transition.

<br />

## Is anything replacing Firebase Test Lab?

<br />

Firebase Test Lab is being replaced by Google Cloud's
Developer Device Platform. The Developer Device Platform is a
commercial-grade suite for remote device orchestration and is designed to
provide an enterprise-scale, cloud-native offering. It acts as a managed device
farm for developers to build and test applications using remote infrastructure,
natively integrating with Google Cloud.

The Developer Device Platform offers:

- [Device
  Run](https://docs.cloud.google.com/developer-device-platform/device-run) - Run tests on devices in the Developer Device Platform lab and see the results in the Google Cloud console.
- [Device Streaming API](https://docs.cloud.google.com/device-streaming/docs) - Connect to remote physical Android devices and interact with your app as if it is connected to your local machine.
- [Agent
  skills](https://docs.cloud.google.com/developer-device-platform/agent-skill) - Help AI coding agents find, reserve, and interact with devices for you.
- [Device
  Catalog](https://docs.cloud.google.com/developer-device-platform/device-catalog)
  - Use the Device Catalog to find, sort, and delve into devices in the Developer Device Platform.

<br />

<br />

<br />

## Will existing tests and devices stop working after September 30, 2027?

<br />

Yes, you won't be able to run any workflows after September 30, 2027. The
Firebase Test Lab console and API will be shut down. We recommend
[migrating](https://docs.cloud.google.com/developer-device-platform/device-run/migrate)
to the Developer Device Platform as soon as possible.

<br />

<br />

<br />

## Will Android Device Streaming also be deprecated?

<br />

No, Android Device Streaming is not being deprecated. Android Device Streaming
is a feature of Developer Device Platform and is supported. For more
information, see the [Android Device Streaming
overview](https://docs.cloud.google.com/device-streaming/docs).

<br />

<br />

<br />

## How will my pricing change between Firebase Test Lab and Developer Device Platform?

<br />

Developer Device Platform will match Firebase Test Lab rates for all
customers through **April 30, 2027**.

After **April 30, 2027** , Developer Device Platform pricing will switch
to a new price offering with both pay-per-use and per-device slot subscription
pricing. At this point, promotional discount pricing to match
Firebase Test Lab pay-per-use rates will end.

For more details on pricing, see the [Developer Device Platform pricing
page](https://cloud.google.com/products/developer-device-platform#pricing). While
Firebase Test Lab supported some usage without billing, the
Developer Device Platform requires your project to have billing
enabled.
