<a name="create-test-run-using-private-devices"></a>

In AWS Device Farm, after you set up a private device fleet, you can create test runs or start remote access sessions with one or more private devices in your fleet. For more information about private devices, see [Private devices in AWS Device Farm](working-with-private-devices.md).

**To create a test run or start a remote access session**

1. Open the Device Farm console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm/).

1. On the Device Farm navigation panel, choose **Mobile Device Testing**, then choose **Projects**.

   

1. Choose an existing project from the list or create a new one. To create a new project, choose **New project**, enter a name for the project, and then choose **Submit**.

1. Do one of the following:
   + To create a test run, choose **Automated tests**, and then choose **Create a new run**. The wizard guides you through the steps to create the run. For the **Select devices** step, you can edit an existing device pool or create a new device pool that includes only those private devices that the Device Farm team set up and associated with your AWS account. For more information, see [Creating a private device pool with private devices (console)](selecting-private-devices.md#create-new-device-pool).
   + To start a remote access session, choose **Remote access**, and then choose **Start a new session**. On the **Choose a device** page, select **Private device instances only** to limit the list to only those private devices that the Device Farm team set up and associated with your AWS account. Then, choose the device that you want to access, enter a name for the remote access session, and choose **Confirm and start session**.
