Simulate Network Conditions

TestingBot allows you to test your mobile apps under various network conditions, including download speed, upload speed, packet loss and latency.

Simulate network conditions using a predefined network profile

TestingBot provides a set of predefined network profiles which you can choose from.

Profile Name	Bandwidth down/up (kbps)	Packet Loss (%)	Latency (ms)
Edge	250/150	0	300
3G	400/100	0	100
4G	18000/9000	0	100
airplane	0	100	0

testingbot espresso app.apk app-test.apk \
  --device "Pixel 6" \
  --platform-version "12" \
  --throttle-network "3G"

curl -u api_key:api_secret \
-X POST "https://api.testingbot.com/v1/app-automate/espresso/:id/run" \
-d '{ "espressoOptions": { "throttle_network": "3G" }, "capabilities":[{"platform":"ANDROID", "version":12, "deviceName":"Pixel 6", "platformName":"Android"}]}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"

Simulate network conditions using a custom network profile

You can specify a custom set of parameters, including:

Download rate (kbps)
Upload rate (kbps)
Packet loss (%)
Latency (ms)

The CLI supports predefined network profiles. For custom network profiles, use the cURL API directly.
