Test DPC

What Test DPC does

Test DPC is a developer and QA utility for testing Android enterprise management features. It acts as a sample Device Policy Controller, giving teams a practical way to examine how managed profiles, device ownership and workplace policies behave on an Android device. It suits Android developers building device-management tools, as well as testers checking how apps respond to enterprise controls.

Useful for enterprise app testing

The app provides controls for creating managed-profile scenarios and testing how work and personal data are separated. Developers can also use it to explore device-wide management settings, application restrictions and managed configurations. Security-related policies, including screen-capture controls and password requirements, can be adjusted to check whether an application follows the expected rules.

• Test managed profiles and cross-profile behaviour.
• Examine device-owner management scenarios.
• Apply restrictions and managed settings to compatible apps.
• Check how applications respond to selected security policies.

A technical tool, not a general utility

Test DPC is built around Android’s enterprise APIs rather than everyday phone use. Its settings-focused interface is practical for repeated testing, but it offers little reason for anyone who does not work with Android management or application compatibility. New developers may also need to understand the underlying policies before changing them, since management settings can affect the device being tested.

Developed by Google LLC, Test DPC has a 4.11 rating from 1,512 reviews and more than 500,000 installs.
