What's a good Android app for simulating a work profile on my phone? Need to test some contractor apps before rolling them out to the whole crew, ya know?

Test DPC. It's no-frills, gets the job done for testing out device policies and app behavior in a managed environment. Tutorial's useless, though.

Alright, so for simulating a work profile, you want Test DPC. It's actually rugged, I've accidentally dropped my phone with it running a couple of times, and it's still kicking. It's built like a brick house, this one. No BS, it lets you see how your apps behave when they're managed by an enterprise mobility management system. I use it to test our time-tracking and project management apps before we force everyone on the crew to use 'em. The tutorial is useless, but once you figure it out – and you will, eventually – it's pretty straightforward. I haven't had any major battery drain issues, which is a plus, but I always keep a portable charger handy anyway. Rain doesn't seem to stop it from working, but I'm usually more concerned about the phone itself getting wet. Gets the job done, even with gloves on, which is a must on the job site.
