TESTDROID RECORDER

TESTDROID RECORDER
Testdroid Recorder is an Eclipse plug-in that automates
the manual tasks of writing tests for Android applications.
Record and Playback of Native, HTML and
Hybrid applications
Recording test cases without application
source code
Take your Android application and record test cases with
Testdroid Recorder in minutes. Recorder captures objects from
native, HTML and hybrid applications using object ID's, enabling
the creation of robust automated tests for dynamic content. The
output is Java, no proprietary scripting language.
Testdroid Recorder generates all files needed to set up a
working test project. It can record test cases without the
application source code and without linking any libraries to
your application. You can take any APK file and create
automated tests for that APK by using Testdroid Recorder.
Smart Asserts and Timeline
User defined screenshot capture steps
during test execution
Testdroid Recorder has a lot of options to validate the output of
tests. With Smart Asserts it is easy create test cases, which
validate correctness of the application behaviour and correct
buttons are present. Timeline captures the time between user
actions during recording and then repeat the same user actions
with exactly same time intervals during the playback. This is
very useful feature for instance when your application accesses
a web service to retrieve some data or does some other time
consuming processing before the the user can continue.
For visual verification of application appearance during test
execution Testdroid Recorder has a "Take screenshot" button.
By clicking this button you can define places in your test case
where a screenshot is taken during the test execution. The
screenshots are stored to SD-card from where they can be
fetched for inspection.

Landscape and Portrait
Drags, Swipes, Pinch and hard keys
Most of the layout issues are discovered when user changes the
orientation of the application from portrait to landscape. With
Testdroid Recorder users can force the orientation of the app
during test execution and take for example a screenshot of both
cases.
Testdroid Recorder supports gestures like drags and swipes as
well as pinch. Also hard keys are supported, if your application
makes use of volume key for advanced user experience.
User defined UI widget call methods
Change device language
Testdroid Recorder let's you decide in which order the UI widget
call methods are used when your test code is generated. Each of
the UI Widget call methods have their pros and cons and it
always depends on the application itself which one is the most
appropriate and which ones can be used. The options are:
R.Id
Text Label
X,Y click
You can change the device language during the test recording
and validate your app automatically for multi-language use. The
same test code works automatically for every language, as the
test code uses component Id's for example for pressing the
buttons.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Test Recording
Test Execution
Testdroid Recorder accesses Android’s View hierarchy to inspect
the user inputs. When user clicks something on the screen
Testdroid Recorder will capture that UI event call and store it.
When the test Java code is generated, recorder recreates the
sequence of UI widget calls and generates corresponding lines of
test code in Java automatically. This way your tests are not relying
only on x,y clicks on the screen and can be executed on almost
any Android device.
Android tests created with Testdroid Recorder can be executed
from Eclipse as JUnit tests. You can run the tests in Testdroid
Cloud on 200+ real devices to see quickly, how does your
application work on different makes and models, from the small
screen devices to tablets. If you connect your own Android
device to your workstation via USB cable you can also execute
the tests locally and see the results in Eclipse’s JUnit result
view.
