You can add user actions in a test script from the test
editor for Android, iOS, or Web UI applications. User actions are
actions such as click, swipe, tap, and touch on mobile devices. These
actions help you navigate around the application. After you record
a script, you might decide to add new user actions in the script such
as swiping right with one touch on a view.
Before you begin
Create a test from a recording and open the test script in
the test editor.
About this task
You can create user actions in the tests which are created
from Android, iOS, hybrid or Web UI applications. The graphic object
and the object's action are different for iOS, Android and Web UI
applications.
Procedure
- In the Rational® Test Workbench Mobile
Test Edition, open the test script; and in the Test
Contents area, select a test script line.
- Click the insert push button and
select Add user action for Android, iOS or
WebUI, depending on the target application. Another way is to right-click
the selection, or to click and in the test editor
to select the menu item.
- In the Test Element Details section
select a value for the artifacts identified as required for the action
selected. To create a user action, you must specify an object and
an action. The content of the Graphic object field
is not the same for Android and iOS apps. The choices available in
the object’s action list are dependent upon the object selected.
Other artifacts are optional. The values available in the
mandatory fields are different for Web UI apps and Android or iOS
apps. Example for a test created from an Android application
under test: Select View in the list of graphic
object and Swipe in the list of Object's action,
and select Right for Direction,
and enter 1 in Number of touches required.
- A user action is added to the test script just before the
node selected. Save the test.
