What is the meaning of “Mobile

UI Automation”?


3

Traditional QA procedure

… #100 … #1000 … hours and hours of testing … for each release …


4

UI Automation

import com.android.uiautomator.core.*;import com.android.uiautomator.testrunner.*;

public class MyTestCase extends UiAutomatorTestCase{ public void testnumberone() throws UiObjectNotFoundException, android.os.RemoteException { getUiDevice().wakeUp(); getUiDevice().pressEnter(); UiObject textfield = new UiObject(new UiSelector().className("android.widget.EditText")); textfield.clearTextField(); textfield.setText("This is really cool"); UiObject button = new UiObject(new UiSelector().className("android.widget.Button")); button.click(); UiObject textview = new UiObject(new UiSelector().className("android.widget.TextView").index(1)); assertEquals("Text is incorrect", "This is really cool", textview.getText()); }}

$ <apache-ant-dir>/bin/ant build$ <adt-dir>/sdk/platform-tools adb push bin/MyTestProgram.jar /data/local/tmp$ <adt-dir>/sdk/platform-tools/adb shell uiautomator runtest MyTestProgram.jar \ -c MyTestCase

1. Write the test program

2. Run the tests

3. Read the report


6

With automation, full test of an app will no longer take hours

but minutes

The tests are easily repeated for every release


7

Perfect, right?


.. FOR EACH PLATFORM

BUT TEST PROGRAMS NEED TO BE WRITTEN ..


MANY MOBILE PLATFORMS HAVE BUILT-IN CAPABILITIESFOR USER INTERFACE AUTOMATION

UI Automation

JavaScript

UIAutomator

Java




public class Main : LayerWidget, EventReceiver{

TextInputWidget input;LabelWidget label;

public void initialize() {base.initialize();var box = BoxWidget.vertical().set_spacing(px("1mm"))

.set_margin(px("1mm"));box.add(input = TextInputWidget.instance());input.set_widget_id("input");box.add(label = LabelWidget.for_string("(enter text)")

.set_font(Font.instance("7mm")));box.add(ButtonWidget.for_string("Click me").set_event("clickme")

.set_widget_id("clickme"));add(CanvasWidget.for_color(Color.instance("#AAAAAA")));add(box);set_draw_color(Color.instance("black"));

}

public void cleanup() {base.cleanup();input = null;label = null;

}

public void on_event(Object o) {label.set_text(input.get_text());

}}


// standard iOS UI Automation framework initializationvar target = UIATarget.localTarget();var app = target.frontMostApp();var window = app.mainWindow();

// Set the contents of the text input field// to string "Something"window.textFields()["input"].setValue("Something");

SAME PROGRAM WRITTEN TWICE ..

.. SEEMS LIKE A WASTE OF EFFORT


BUT TWICE WOULDNOT BE ENOUGH

NO WASTED EFFORT. WRITE THE SCRIPT ONLY ONCE

class MyTestCase : UIAutomatorTestCase{

public void execute() {get_text_field("input").set_text("Something");get_button("clickme").click();

}}
