Telerik Announces Test Studio for iOS Beta
-
The entire Test Studio crew has been working hard on this ground-breaking release for us. Test Studio for iOS offers the same great approach to mobile testing as you find in our previous releases of Test Studio. You’re able to quickly build up powerful, flexible tests on both native iOS applications as well as testing browser-based applications running on your iOS device. Building hybrid apps? We’ve got that covered too!
Our iOS beta download comes with a number of projects for XCode. You’ll get our demo app, Test Studio, and Test Studio Browser. You can add testing to any of your native iOS apps (UIKit-based) simply by including a reference to Test Studio’s static library. We’ve included full directions on accomplishing this in the README! .doc included in the Beta download. Once you’ve built your app with our static library you’re ready to roll away to create, run, and manage tests.
Start by having a look at the testing experience using the iPhone or iPad simulator environments in XCode.
When you’re ready, tether up your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch and deploy to your favorite target device (you’ll need an account at Apple’s Developer Center). You can now create, run, and edit tests while on the go with your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, or other iOS device!
I’m happy to highlight our iOS testing features follow the same great concepts as Test Studio:
- Ease of use for recording, maintaining, and playing back test scripts
- No position-based locator strategy, even with native apps! This is huge for stability and maintainability of test scripts!
- Portability of test scripts across different iOS device types. Record tests for your app on the iPod touch, play them back on your app running in the latest iPad.
Two very important advantages in Test Studio for iOS:
- No Wi-Fi required. Record, run, edit, and manage your tests while you’re on a tr
