A computer-implemented facility is provided for intelligent mobile device selection for mobile application testing. The computer-implemented facility determines features of a new mobile application to be tested, and compares the features of the new mobile application with features of multiple known mobile applications to identify one or more known mobile applications with similar features. Based at least in part on automated analysis of user reviews of the one or the more known mobile applications operating in one or more types of mobile devices, the facility provides one or more risk scores for operation of the new mobile application in the one or more types of mobile devices. Further, based on the risk scores, a recommended set of mobile devices in which to test the new mobile application may be generated for use in testing the new mobile application.
