# Cloud

> Run tests in the cloud without any hardware.

Cloud testing runs on real remote devices managed by noqa. No hardware required — just upload your build and run.

## Why cloud

* **Parallel execution** — run multiple tests at the same time and get results faster.
* **CI/CD integration** — trigger runs automatically on every build via the API.
* **No device maintenance** — no need to own, charge, or manage physical devices.
* **Device configuration** — set locale, location, and preload images before the test starts.

## Getting started

Upload your build in Dashboard → Builds, select test cases, choose a cloud device, and click **Run**. For automated runs, use the [API](/api-reference) to trigger tests from your CI/CD pipeline.
