Test at scale with Gradle managed devices
summary
Gradle Managed Devices lets projects declare devices in build.gradle and then spins up emulators, creates a zero-state snapshot to reset between runs, runs tests in parallel with test caching and optional sharding, and tears down VMs when finished. A lightweight image called aosp-atd cuts memory and CPU so more emulators fit on CI (currently API 30 and 31). AGP 7.3 is stable, 7.4 beta improves performance, and AGP 8.0 adds Firebase Test Lab support for virtual and physical devices via gcloud auth and a plugin.
