This article details Huolala's evolution from a simple wireless ADB setup to the sophisticated TianGong system, covering architecture, video streaming, input handling, large‑scale device pool management, and future plans for intelligent scheduling and iOS optimization.
Huolala's data team created a cloud‑based real‑device platform that centralizes phone resources, enables remote screen casting and control via adb, minicap, and minitouch, and uses Spring Boot and Netty‑WebSocket to deliver scalable, cost‑effective mobile testing across multiple scenarios.
To address Meituan‑Dianping’s exploding demand for test phones, we rebuilt OpenSTF‑based platform with modular Agent, Server, and MySQL storage, upgraded to Vue 2, added dynamic screen quality, reservation, API integration, mock and inspector tools, now supporting 300 devices for 500 developers daily and planning iOS expansion.
