You can install the IBM® Rational® Test Workbench Mobile Client on
the emulator or the device either by downloading it or by using the adb tool.
Prerequisites:- Set up an Android emulator.
- Install Android SDK on the same computer that has Rational Test Workbench.
- After installing SDK, do these tasks
- From SDK Manager, install SDK Tools, Platform Tools, Build Tools,
and, preferably, Android 4.4.2 (API level 19).
- From Rational Test Workbench,
point to the Android SDK directory by clicking . The default Android SDK directory is typically located
at C:\Users\Adminsitrator\Downloads\android-sdk-windows.
This tutorial uses an Android emulator for procedures. You
can also use a real device.
To install the mobile test client on an emulator:
- In Rational Test Workbench toolbar,
click the Display workbench URL to connect or reconnect
to a device icon
. The Add Device wizard shows the Workbench
URL. Make a note of this URL; you will need it in Lesson 1.2.
- Complete one of the following steps:
- Download the mobile test client on the emulator.
- In the emulator, open a web browser and enter the Workbench URL.
- Click the link to download the mobile test client.
- On the apps page of the emulator, click Downloads,
click com.ibm.rational.test.mobile.android.client.ui-release.apk,
and then click Install.
- Use the adb tool to install mobile test client.
Note: Ensure
that there is one device (emulator or real device) connected with
to Rational Test Workbench.
Otherwise, the adb command will not work.
- On the computer, open a web browser and enter the Workbench URL.
- Click Proceed with Android instructions and
then click the link to download the mobile test client. The .apk file
is downloaded.
- Copy com.ibm.rational.test.mobile.android.client.ui-release.apk to
a temporary folder. For example, copy the file to C:\tmp.
- Open a command line window and point to the Android SDK directory.
On Windows 7, the default path to the directory is typically C:\Users\admin_name\Downloads\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
- Type the following command:
adb -e install temporary_folder\com.ibm.rational.test.mobile.android.client.ui-release.apk
You can now see Rational Test Workbench Mobile
