Abstract
Living in a “Mobile-First” world presents organizations with new and ever-
changing application test challenges. Being able to deliver Mobile Applications
quickly with high quality is a huge task faced by organizations. Separating the
application code logic from the UI can produce more precise results faster, but
creates added challenges to quality. CA Application Test facilitates the testing
both on services/API layer and extends the acceptance test to mobile. By
incorporating platform independent mobile and API test automation under a
single test automation framework. Automation enables you to design tests
against multiple platforms (iOS, Android) without requiring building
applications differently. Hybrid support allows you to test devices on premise
or connect to a cloud device testing service. Join us and learn more about
these advances and others can enable you to deliver better mobile
applications faster.

Approaching “mobile testing”
Validation of mobile applications
needs to combine comprehensive
leading testing and validation
techniques – it is not a point solution
The system under test is dramatically
different than older user interfaces –
new approaches need to be applied to
be successful

What should my mobile test validate? How many do I
need? Is it enough?
ESB
CA Test Case Optimizer
 Apply model based
requirements design
 100% coverage of
functional logic gates
with minimal number
of tests
 Analyze manual tests –
remove duplicates and
expand to full coverage

How can I automate the verification of business API’s
needed behind the mobile application?
ESB
CA Application Test
 API functional
testing
 API non functional
testing
 Does the business
logic work and
provide data to the
mobile application

Where do we get the data needed to test mobile application
presentation and data updates in the enterprise?
ESB
CA Test Data Manager
 Functional testing is all
about getting the right
data to test scenarios
 Extract, de-identify and
subset production
 Create missing data to
complete coverage
 Capture fully versioned
system of record data
packs for repeatable
regression

How do I keep up with all of the APIs and get
automation to higher levels?
ESB
CA Continuous
Application Insight
 Agent technologies
observes test data
during development
and UAT
 Automatically invoke
and verify tests for
API’s provides stable
regression for API’s
used by mobile

How do we automate functional validation of a mobile
application?
ESB
CA Application Test
for Mobile
 Test on IOS &
Android
 Functional on device
 Cross device test
cases
 Does the application
handle data and
present correctly

CA Application Test for Mobile
Record and Playback
Build your tests in a visual
recorder just like what your
users experience
Play back local or cloud,
emulators/simulators or
physical devices
Drive Tests within
CI/CD
Integrate mobile testing into
your delivery processes with
run on demand testing and
release testing
Automate your
Functional
Validations
Automate your validation
and creation of validations
Extend the breadth of
your teams testing

CA Application Test for Mobile
 Create functional test scripts
once and run anywhere
 No modifications to the test
suite when retargeting execution
environment
 Native, hybrid and web apps
 Supports iOS 8.0+ and Android
4.2+

Test script visual editing

Target identification
 Ways to identify a target
– Accessibility labels (added by
developer)
– Widget identifier – button1
– XPath - //UIAButton[@label=‘7’]
 XPath across iOS and Android
native apps are not
compatible while hybrids
XPaths are compatible

Page inspector

Mobile gestures/actions

Multiple actions on one page

Validations
 Mobile assert regular
expression
– Simplest – just add from the
screen shot
 Mobile assert
– Add from the test flow. More
options and flow control.
 Java step assertion
– Used for most complex validations
(positioning, ordering and multiple
step logic)

Mobile assert action

Mobile assert filter

Java step validation
webDriver – variable to access appium webdriver interface
Example:
var xpath =
"//android.widget.LinearLayout[1]/android.widget.FrameLayout[1]/android.widget.FrameLay
out[1]/
android.widget.RelativeLayout[1]/android.widget.TableLayout[2]/android.widget.TableRow[
1]/ android.widget.TableLayout[2]/android.widget.EditText[1]";
var el_total = _webDriver.findElementByXPath(xpath);
var total = makeFloat(el_total.getText());
testExec.setStateValue("purchase.total", total);

Mobile lab
Drive tests within an on-
premise local lab
– Supports iOS and Android
– Multiple versions supported
– Up to 50 devices
Leverages standard DevTest
Lab management tools and
options
*add disclaimer

Mobile cloud labs supported
 Tethered actual devices for
IOS and Android
 Test creation and execution
full featured
 Test execution only
