About This Architecture

On-premises Android CI/CD device farm architecture integrating GitLab CE, Jenkins, and Smartphone Test Farm (STF) for automated mobile app testing across physical devices and emulators. Developers push code through a perimeter firewall and WAF to GitLab CE, triggering Jenkins pipelines that build APKs via Gradle, store artifacts in Nexus and Docker Registry, then distribute to STF-managed device pools for parallel testing. The architecture isolates source control, CI/CD, artifact storage, and device farm into separate VLANs (10.0.1.0/24 through 10.0.4.0/24) within a DMZ, with ELK logging and Grafana monitoring providing observability across build and test stages. Fork this diagram to customize Jenkins agent counts, add additional emulator API levels, or integrate your own artifact registry and monitoring tools. This pattern demonstrates network segmentation and load balancing best practices for secure, scalable on-premises mobile testing without cloud dependency.

How do I set up an on-premises Android CI/CD pipeline with a device farm for automated testing across physical devices and emulators?

This diagram shows a complete on-prem Android CI/CD architecture where developers push code to GitLab CE, Jenkins orchestrates Gradle builds and artifact storage in Nexus/Docker Registry, and STF Controller manages a pool of physical Android devices and emulators for parallel testing. Network segmentation via VLANs, perimeter firewall, WAF, and load balancing ensure security and scalability withou
