The escalating complexity of mobile application testing, driven by device fragmentation and rapid development cycles, necessitates advanced solutions for ensuring software quality. Mobile device farms provide essential infrastructure for testing across diverse real-world devices, while test automation accelerates repetitive validation tasks. However, significant manual effort persists in test design, data preparation, script maintenance, and results analysis. This research investigates the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) within mobile device farms to address these challenges and enhance mobile test automation. Key GenAI applications explored include the automated generation of diverse and realistic test data, the creation of test scripts from natural language or user flows, the simulation of complex user interactions and edge cases, the intelligent analysis of test results and logs for anomaly detection and root cause analysis, and the potential optimization of device allocation and test scheduling within the farm. Employing a methodology based on literature review and conceptual framework analysis, this paper examines potential methodologies, frameworks, algorithms, and tools for implementing GenAI solutions in this context. The analysis highlights potential benefits such as improved test coverage, increased efficiency, reduced manual effort, faster feedback cycles, and enhanced defect detection capabilities. Concurrently, it critically assesses significant challenges, including implementation complexity, data privacy and security concerns, the reliability and accuracy of generated artifacts, integration difficulties, and computational costs. The findings suggest that GenAI holds considerable potential to transform mobile testing within device farms, shifting towards a more intelligent, adaptive, and efficient paradigm, although its role is likely to be that of a powerful assistant augmenting human expertise rather than a complete replacem
