Running mobile tests

After generating a test from a recording, you can run the test on multiple mobile devices and simulators on which the mobile test client is installed. Tests created for native or hybrid applications must be run on the Android mobile test client if recorded on Android platform, and on the iOS mobile test client if recorded on iOS platform. But there is no such restriction for tests of IBM® Worklight® hybrid applications, as they can be recorded on Android and played back on iOS platform, or recorded on iOS and played back on Android mobile test client. If you test web applications, the IBM Rational® Test Workbench Mobile Web Recorder is used to record and run your tests on Android and iOS mobile test client. Note that all tests can be run from the test workbench.

Before you begin

CAUTION:
The mobile client does not support data substitution. When a test is run from the mobile client, the values displayed are those entered during the recording, references and substitutions are not generated in the test. You must run the test from the workbench to verify data substitution.
