After generating a test from a recording, you can edit
the test according to your requirements and initiate a test run from
the test workbench. The
test actually runs on the mobile test client (mobile device
or emulator/simulator). This means that the playback is controlled
from the test workbench.
The test results can be viewed from both the test workbench and the mobile test client.
Before you begin
- You must have recorded and generated a test on a mobile device,
emulator or simulator. You can find information on the procedure in Recording tests from the test workbench,
in Recording tests from the Android mobile test client,
or Recording tests from the iOS mobile test client.
- Ensure that you give control to the test workbench to run tests by
tapping Enter passive mode. After you tap it,
on the mobile client, a message tells you to press Back to
end this mode or wait until a playback scenario starts. On iPads,
you must select any other page on the left to end the passive mode.
- To prevent your iOS device from disconnecting from the test workbench during playback,
go to on your iOS device and turn Auto-Lock to Never.
Note: If your test contains datapools, it will be controlled
by the workbench.
About this task
If you have not installed the
mobile test client through the
silent mode and recorded a native or hybrid app from the
mobile test client, you must run
the test from the
mobile test client before
running it from
test workbench.
Procedure
- From the test workbench,
you can initiate the running of a mobile test by using any of the
following steps in the Test Workbench perspective:
- In the Test Navigator view, right-click a test and click .
- From the Test Navigator view, open the test and, in the test editor,
click the Run Test button.
- Add the mobile test to the Compound Test editor.

the device on which the test will be run. You can run the test on
multiple devices. For more details, see Running tests on multiple devices in parallel.
Click Next.
- The first time you run a test, you will be prompted to
run the test from the Test Execution perspective. Select the Remember
my decision check box to avoid receiving the message again
and click Yes.

interact with the mobile device until the test is complete. If you
need to stop the test run, click the Stop test button
