1 Overview

This release of DeviceAnywhere Enterprise Monitoring includes major new functionalities: a script

recorder to enable easy point-and-click recording of full scripts, new commands that operate directly on

objects in native applications and in the Chrome browser, an object tree to view object structure on a page,

and the ability to switch between customers in the DAE Monitoring Portal.

Updates in this release include enhanced script results and swipe options in object commands, enhanced

device information, enhanced device search, upgrade to JDK 1.7, and support for external version control.

2 New Features

Recording Object Commands

Recording of the Object Touch command for native applications is now supported on Android 4.0.4+

devices. When you opt to record a script, an Object Touch command is automatically inserted when you

click an item inside a native application, i.e., you do not have to choose an advanced recording option.

The image below shows a script in record mode with a pair of captured Object Touch commands in a

native application.

Figure 2-1 Recording Object Touch in a Native Application

NOTE When recording the Object Touch command on Android 4.3 Samsung devices, clicks are recorded

incorrectly in the application tray after opening it from the home screen. For instance, you might want to

record a click to launch device settings from the application tray after opening the tray from the home

screen. The click to launch device settings is incorrectly recorded after navigating to the application tray

from the home screen.

Switching Customers in the Administration (Enterprise) Portal

Administrators with the required privileges can now switch between customers in the Administration

(Enterprise) Portal, allowing you to switch between different units of your organization that are set up as

entirely separate customers. Use the Switch drop-down list that appears before the User Management tab.

Choosing a customer here applies to any tab in the portal.

NOTE This feature requires special setup—please contact your Keynote Solutions Consultant.

Object Commands on Android Chrome

Object commands used to interact with and create native object-based scripts can now be used to interact

with objects viewed on the Android Chrome browser. You can test any web page on Android Chrome.

This feature is available on Android 4.2 devices.

Object Tree

Users now have access to an object tree to view object structure in Object commands.

Reporting Device Issues

Reporting a device issue is now easier from DeviceAnywhere Studio. When you right-click a device and

select Report an Issue, you are presented with a dialog box to choose the issue type, enter any details, and

directly submit a ticket. The device MCD is automatically captured for the ticketing system

3 Updates

Updated Installation Instructions

For enterprise installations, it is recommended that customers:

Install a maximum of 3 smartphones or 2 tablets per Ensemble Server (device server).

Ensure that the Ensemble Server has a Core i5 or higher processor.

Updated Script Results for Object Commands

Script results for Object commands in Studio now display a.) the actual text label and Keynote-assigned

index value of the selected object, b.) the object tree of the page, and c.) all extracted text.

Swipe Options in Object Commands

You now have more options to implement swipes and can perform larger swipes in Object commands.

Updated Device Information

The new Ensemble Bridge field in device information (right-click device > Device Info) helps you

identify the Mac computer that an iOS device is attached to.

External Version Control

You can now resume using third-party version control systems for Studio script assets. Select External

Version Control System when creating a project.

Figure 3-7 External Version Control

JDK Version

Studio now works with and is bundled with JDK 1.7 on Windows. Mac users must install JDK 1.7.

Updated Device Search

In the advanced device search available by clicking the filter icon , you can now search by minor OS

version (e.g., Android 4.0.x) or by any of our supported carrier networks.

NOTE Searching by minor OS version has always been supported by typing into the free-form text Filter

field.

Updating Object Layout in Commands

Object commands now have a camera icon to update object layout when you switch from one device

screen to another. The Auto-Update Layout check box is no longer available.

Figure 3-9 Updating Layout in Object Commands

Swiping to Select an Object in Object Touch

When you implement a swipe in Object Touch to bring an object into view before selecting it, you can

now specify how much of the object must be visible before it is selected or touched. Specify a percentage

in the Margin Percent flag of the Advanced tab. Then run the command to see whether the object is

correctly selected. If not, increase the percentage of the object that must be visible before it is touched.

4 Resolved Issues

Date Format

When downloading aggregated or raw chart data in Excel format, run times were reported using a 12-

hour clock format. This has now been changed to a 24-hour clock format. The date/time column in the

downloaded Excel sheet is now also editable.

Copying Actions with Dependencies

When you copied and pasted an action with dependencies from one project to another, the actions folder

in the originating project was being deleted. This issue has now been fixed.

Schedules Stopping at Midnight

If a monitor was scheduled to run over an interval that spanned midnight, the schedule was interrupted

at midnight; monitor runs after midnight would not occur. This issue has been fixed.

5 End of Life Features

The Web command category for interacting with web elements will be deprecated in the next release of

DA Monitoring. These commands require a JavaScript tag to be added to your web content. Please

contact your Keynote Solutions Consultant for support details.
