<li>Every student or teacher using a Google Play for Education tablet will already be
signed in with a Google account on the device. You can take advantage of that to provide a
simple, seamless sign-in experience in your app. A recommended approach is to use
Setting Up a Test Environment for Tablets</a>, including a small number of
actual hardware devices that replicate the tablet form factors used in the
Google Play for Education.</p>

<p>Google Play for Education uses primarily Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 devices, so
your testing can focus on those specific hardware devices. You can purchase the

devices is preferred, you can test on other 7-inch or 10-inch tablets or virtual
devices if you don't have access to Nexus devices.</p>

<p>Once you've set up a suitable hardware environment, make sure to test your
apps under conditions that simulate those of schools. For example, Google Play

4.2. Google Play for Education devices will be running Android 4.2 or higher
(API level 17).</li>
<li><em>Proxy server</em> — Test the app in network environment that uses
