Kobiton is a mobile testing platform that gives QA and engineering teams access to real iOS and Android devices instead of emulators. Devices are available through a cloud device lab, and an on-premises option exists for organisations that want them inside their own network. The platform supports manual testing and automated tests written with Appium, with device management, camera and biometric simulation, location mocking and live performance metrics.
Kobiton, Inc. is headquartered in the United States, and its privacy policy gives an Atlanta, Georgia address. The policy says personal information may be processed in the United States and other countries, names no specific hosting regions and publishes no sub-processor list; that list is available on request. Transfers from the EEA rely on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. For a European organisation, the open questions are US jurisdiction over the vendor and where cloud-hosted test data is stored. An on-premises deployment keeps device data in the organisation's own infrastructure.
