Adb over Wi-Fi

Sometimes its required to do the testing without using usb cable. That means we don't have to keep the device in charging mode but we want to run our scripts. In this case we can use adb over Wi-Fi. Lets see in detail, what is adb over Wi-Fi?

Step 1:
Connect device to system using usb

Step 2:
adb device
This will give you the list of devices connected to system
Result - List of devices attached

adb connect #.#.#.#
