The company is announcing the immediate availability of Genymotion Cloud for Google Cloud Platform with a “per-second” billing system.

Genymotion’s Cloud tool was first launched on Amazon Web Services in November 2016. The company is now bringing the tool to the Google Cloud Platform. CEO Arnaud Dupuis explains the benefits of Genymotion Cloud:

“We have implemented a full, unrestricted user/physical interaction stack; all Android API interaction widgets; and have included full, high-speed custom 3D-rendering stack in a web browser window, which can auto-adapt to the performance of the underlying instance, with or without a dedicated GPU.”

Genymotion Cloud for GCP has a “per-second” billing system, which allows developers to only pay for actual usage. They can scale their tests on multiple virtual devices in parallel and reduce the testing lifecycle. Genymotion’s Cloud tool is available now on the Google Cloud Launcher for Android 5.1 Lollipop, Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and Android 7.0 Nougat. Here’s a full list of features for the Cloud tool:
