Creating a project in AWS Device Farm

You can create a project by using the AWS Device Farm console, AWS CLI, or AWS Device Farm API.

Prerequisites

Complete the steps in Setting up.

Create a project (console)

Sign in to the Device Farm console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm.
On the Device Farm navigation panel, choose Mobile Device Testing, then choose Projects.
Choose New project.
Enter a name for your project. Optionally, you may supply one or more of the parameters below, then choose Submit.
Optional configuration parameters:
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) settings

Select a VPC, subnets, and security group to be applied to the device under test and its paired test host. This feature is only supported with private devices. See VPC-ENI in AWS Device Farm for more information.

Execution Role ARN

An IAM role to be assumed by the test runner in custom test environments. For more information, see Access AWS resources using an IAM Execution Role.

Environment Variables

One or more variables to be inserted into the environment of the test execution runner process. Variable names beginning with "DEVICEFARM_" are reserved for service use. We recommend against storing sensitive values in these environment variables, and instead suggest using an IAM execution role to fetch such values from AWS Secrets Manager during your test.

Create a project (AWS CLI)

Run create-project, specifying the project name.

Example:


aws devicefarm create-project --name MyProjectName

The AWS CLI response includes the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the project.


{
    "project": {
        "name": "MyProjectName",
        "arn": "arn:aws:devicefarm:us-west-2:123456789101:project:5e01a8c7-c861-4c0a-b1d5-12345EXAMPLE",
        "created": 1535675814.414
    }
}
