You can add hardware actions to your test by using a physical
widget to add an action in the test script. The hardware action that
you can test for is the GPS fix that is supported by Android and iOS
applications under test. For Android applications, you can test some
more hardware actions such as the use of the volume up and down actions,
muting, the use of headphones, all media actions (play, pause, and
so on), making calls, and ending calls.
Before you begin
You must have created a test from a recording and have the
test script open in the test editor. You can add hardware actions
in the tests which are created from mobile or Web-based apps if the
Web
UI actions and elements for hybrid apps are activated.
See
Activating Web UI actions.
About this task
This action applies only to tests created from Android or
iOS apps.
Procedure
- In the Rational® Test Workbench Mobile
Test Edition, open a test script and in the Test
Contents area, click the launch app node where the action
is to be added.
- Click the insert push button and
select Hardware action. Example: select GPS
fix, and complete the longitude and latitude fields. Another
way is to right-click the selection, or clicking in the test editor to select the menu item. The
values are different for Web UI apps and Android apps.
- In the Test Element Details section,
select an item in the list of object’s actions. You can enter
a value for the timeout too. The new action is added
before the script item that you had initially selected in the launch
node.
- Save the test.
