一句话：初步研究揭示设备云管理软件会影响测试执行，且几乎所有云设备都存在安全问题。
由于建设和维护内部测试实验室成本高、耗时长，企业和应用开发者常使用设备云来测试应用。质量保证活动依赖这些设备云，因此理解其使用与管理中的问题十分重要。本文开展了一项初步研究，考察设备云管理与维护中的问题并指出研究机会。作者分析了 110 台设备上超过 1200 万次测试执行。结果显示，所研究云基础设施的管理软件会影响部分测试执行，并且几乎所有云设备都至少存在一个与安全相关的问题。该工作为设备云管理、测试可靠性和设备安全性的后续研究提供了实证依据。
Because creating and maintaining an in-house test lab is expensive and time-consuming, companies and app developers often use device clouds to test their apps. Because quality-assurance activities depend on such device clouds, it is important to understand possible issues related to their use. To this end, in this paper we present a preliminary study that investigates issues and highlights research opportunities in the context of managing and maintaining device clouds. In the study, we analyzed over 12 million test executions on 110 devices. We found that the management software of the cloud infrastructure we considered affected some test executions, and almost all the cloud devices had at least one security-related issue.
