Collecting test logs and results

Result reporting.

Demos

Q&A

Why Automate:

Multiple Phone models

Multiple Operating systems

Multiple Application versions

Multiple Carriers

Device specific features

Complex API testing

Large number of test cases

Automation Lifecycle:

Automation Lifecycle: Building applications

5

Jenkins – an extendable continuous Integration server. Install Apache tomcat web server Get Jenkins.war from Jenkins-ci.org and deploy.

Jenkins + Android: Setup: Eclipse + Android SDK + ADT Plugin Android App –android update project –p <path to android app> Test App – android update test-project –m <path to App> -p <path to

TestApp> Build the android projects using: “ant clean debug”

Jenkins + iOS: Setup: Mac + Xcode + iOS SDK Build iOS project using: “xcodebuild -configuration ${BUILD_TYPE} -

target ${TARGET_NAME} -sdk ${SIMULATOR_OR_IOS_SDK}”


Automation Lifecycle: Installing Applications

Android: Android SDK provides “adb” which can be used to install/uninstall applications from simulator/devices.

adb [-e | –d <device_id>] install <path to .apk>

adb [-e | –d <device_id>] uninstall <application id>

Non-Jailbroken iOS devices:

Get sources from libimobiledevice.org and compile to create “ideviceinstaller”

This can be used to install/uninstall “IPAs” to any iOS device from command line.

Jailbroken iOS devices:

Install SSH server from Cydia App store.

Unzip IPA, modify Info.plist file to register for URL handler and copy inside device.

6


Automation Lifecycle: Running Applications and launching tests

Android: Applications can be launched from command line in emulators/devices using:

adb shell am start –n com.google.android.contacts/.ContactsActivity –e <Key> <Value>

Jailbroken iOS device: Application need to register as an URI handler.

Install “Erica utilties” from Cydia app store.

Ssh into the device and use following command : uiopen testapp://

Non-Jailbroken iOS device: The only option of launching apps from command line is using:

$ instruments -t /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.bundle/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate <path-to-your-app>/<appname>.app -e UIASCRIPT <path-to-js-test-file>

7


Automation Lifecycle: Collecting test results and logs

Android:

To fetch logs and files from device to desktop:

adb pull <source path on device> <destination on desktop>

Jailbroken iOS devices:

Use scp to pull back results from device to desktop.

Non-Jailbroken iOS devices:

Fuse4x allows you to mount iOS device’s document directory on the desktop machine by the following command :

Ifuse <mount point> -u <udid of iOS device> --appid <application ID>

8


Automation Lifecycle: Test result reporting

Jenkins provides in-built support for Junit test result xml reports.

Supply the path of test result in junit format in the jenkins job :

Graphs, trends and drill down options are also available.

Jenkins can be configured to preserve selective set or a predefined number of test results.
