  We may organise tests in the form of suites(inside conf.js): For instance, you may have suites for different types of functionality of your application, homepage, search etc: suites: { homepage: 'tests/e2e/homepage/**/*Spec.js', search: [ 'tests/e2e/contact_search/**/*Spec.js', 'tests/e2e/venue_search/**/*Spec.js' ] }, And/or, you may have specs grouped into suites by the type of tests: suites: { smoke: 'tests/e2e/smoke/*.js', performance: 'tests/e2e/performance/*.js' }, and execute them something like: $ protractor conf.js --suite smoke

  How to get text from an element , when getText fails

  So in most cases try in the following order: getText() if it doesn't work use getAttribute('textContent') if that too doesn't work use getAttribute('value') getAttribute('value') works only if there is an attribute called value in your element (like id, name etc) So in most cases, if getText doesn't work use .getAttribute('textContent') Use: element(by.css("span[aria-label='Picker ID, TESTUSER']")).getAttribute('textContent') Because getText or text() actually uses innerText ,and will not detect text from hidden elements . Don't get confused by the differences between Node.textContent and HTMLElement.innerText. Although the names seem similar, there are important differences: textContent gets the content of all elements, including and elements. In contrast, innerText only shows “human-readable” elements. textContent returns every element in the node. In contrast, innerText is aware of styling and won’t return the text of “hidden” elements. Moreover, since innerText takes CSS styles into account, reading the value of innerText triggers a reflow to ensure up-to-date computed styles. (Reflows can be computationally expensive, and thus should be avoided when possible.) Unlike textContent, altering innerText in Internet Explorer (version 11 and below) removes child nodes from the element and permanently destroys all descendant text nodes. It is impossible to insert the nodes again into any other element or the same element after doing so https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Node/textContent

  As per my experience in the qa services, it appears like required ADB paths are not completely configured on the Mac machine. So for that, along with the ANDROID_HOME variable, 02 additional paths: pointing to the 'platform-tools' and 'platforms' folder, inside the Android SDK folder also needs to be initialized in the main PATH variable. Providing below an instance for setting the 02 additional paths on Mac: export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/user/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130917/sdk export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platforms

  Configure nested virtualization manually On the Azure VM, open PowerShell as an Administrator. Enable the Hyper-V feature and Management Tools. Open PowerShell and run PS command: Install-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V -IncludeManagementTools -Restart This command restarts the Azure VM. You will lose your RDP connection during the restart process.After the Azure VM restarts, reconnect to your VM using RDP. Then install HAXM.

  I think the quickest and most straightforward solution would be to test this in real life - which means putting in a potential fix, and then taking your device to the location it keeps crashing in (assuming it's local to you?). It'd save you having to simulate the 100+ networks, it's cost and time effective, and it gets you out the office for 10 minutes.

  There are several apps that support testing such as: SauceLabs AWS Device Farm Xamarin Test Cloud BrowserStack Perfecto mobile Test Object Bugsnag Bugsnag has modules to test mobile applications in both iOS and Android. Plus it specializes in crash reporting, which may make your troubleshooting easier. SauceLabs or AWS Device Farm is cost effective solutions. Appium has integration with Test Object to spy the objects for the app under test.

  This may be culture-specific, but from my point of view, you’re asking for someone to work for free. The interview should be the interview; you don’t ask someone to do more work after the interview. And from your point of view, how do you know you can trust that the person in question was the one who did the homework? If you want them to do some live testing, which I’m not convinced is a good idea, have them do it in your presence. Also, from a testing point of view, it’s very hard to do that in isolation. They’d need a very complete spec, or someone to ask questions of, to understand what the proper behavior is. And, finally, it's not clear to me what the point of the exercise is. An interview is a way for you to find out if the candidate is the right fit for the job, and the job is the right fit for the candidate. How does having someone test an app, not in your presence, help with that? If you were having them do testing in your presence, while asking them to describe their thought process, or ask them to put a test approach together, I would see that as having value. But (I'm guessing) wanting to hire whoever finds the most bugs in your app is problematic at best.

  You should not use uiautomator in first place. The recommended tool by Google from Android SDK is uiautomatorviewer Which you can find in the same folder: "Libra‌​ry/Android/sdk/tools‌​/lib" If you can't find uiautomatorviewer, please update your Android SDK.

  Not sure about any library existence, but from the official SauceLabs response: one can use TestObject to utilize real devices and SauceLabs main resource to conduct testing on emulators/simulators. Hopefully this helps.

  On Bitbar.com you can rent access to many/most combination of OS and device. I have no affiliation, just considering the service. Not used them yet.

  There's always an option called: Crowdtesting; You can basically hire remote testers from a specific country which will have specific mobile devices. It will be quite cheap if you want to do for example one test case, or short exploratory testing session. You could create a test case that requires them to walk like 2km or something like that. It really depends on what you are searching for For example: http://www.utest.com/ | http://www.applause.com/ http://trymyui.com/ http://www.testbirds.com/ http://www.usertesting.com/ https://crowdsourcedtesting.com/ https://mycrowd.com/ https://test.io/ http://testuj.pl https://usabilityhub.com/ https://globalapptesting.com/ https://www.digivante.com/ https://we-are-testers.com/ https://betafamily.com/

  Option #1: Microsoft Visual Studio App Center Test is a test automation service for native and hybrid mobile apps, also known as Test Cloud. Tests written using supported frameworks can be run with little modification on hundreds of unique device model and operating system configurations hosted in a Microsoft data center. Initiate test runs using the App Center Command Line Interface or the public REST API. App Center stores test results, including all associated media assets, for viewing at any time. Test runs execute in a hosted fashion; upload the necessary assets (typically an app binary and test files) to Test Cloud to execute tests within our data center environment. Generated assets, such as screenshots and device logs, are retained for test report viewing. Test Cloud does not currently support the following features: Manual testing Network condition simulation Cellular network connections VPN Load testing Interact as users do Perform tap, double-tap, swipe, rotate, pan, long press, and pinch. Build custom gestures programmatically for advanced interactions. Query UI elements, app models, and even backend servers via public or private endpoints. Use CSS selectors to query interface elements in hybrid apps. Use any device feature Change GPS location. Press physical buttons. Activate device camera. Rotate the device, switching between portrait and landscape modes. Use tools you know and love Write tests in C#, Ruby with Cucumber, or Java with Appium. Use Visual Studio for Mac and Visual Studio for C# tests. Xamarin Test Cloud templates are integrated into Visual Studio for Mac and Visual Studio. Integrate with standard NUnit test runners. Share code for cross-platform tests between iOS and Android. Analyze app performance See full-frame screenshots for every step of every test. Receive performance data (memory, CPU, duration, etc.). Compare reports against previous runs to find regressions and bottlenecks. Test continuously Automatically kick off Xamarin Test Cloud runs from your nightly Visual Studio Team - - - Services build and get work items back in VSTS from Test Cloud so you know what to fix. Integrates with TFS, Jenkins, TeamCity, or any CI systems with custom post-build commands. Xamarin.UITest is a testing framework that enables Automated UI Acceptance Tests written in NUnit to be run against iOS and Android applications. It integrates tightly with Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android projects but it can also be used with iOS and Android projects written natively in Objective-C/Swift and Java. Xamarin.UITest is the Automation Library that allows the NUnit tests to execute on Android and iOS devices. The tests interact with the user interface just as a user would, enter text, tapping buttons, and performing gestures – such as swipes. For more information on the components enable Xamarin.UITest to automate a mobile application Read more about Xamarin.UITest @ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/test-cloud/uitest/ Read more about App Center implementation @ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/quickstarts/android/test Option #2: With Microsoft's Xamarin Live Player, developers can link their iOS or Android phones with Visual Studio on Windows or Mac and then test the .Net mobile applications they’re building in a matter of seconds. There is no need to set up emulators or to use cables to deploy the code! To get started, download the Xamarin Live Player, pair it to Visual Studio, and deploy your code, and test the app. The Xamarin Live Player is designed as a getting started sandbox for developers to get their ideas visualized on a device quickly. Since the source code is interpreted you may reach the limitations after some time and need to fully compile your app for device or emulator. Xamarin.Forms Limitations Android 4.2 or later on ARM-v7a, ARM-v8a, ARM64-v8a, x86, or x86_64 processor. iOS 9.0 or later on ARM64 processor Custom Renderers are not supported. Effects are not supported. Custom Controls with Custom Bindable Properties are not supported. Embedded resources are not supported (ie. embedding images or other resources in a PCL). Third party MVVM frameworks are not supported (ie. Prism, Mvvm Cross, Mvvm Light, etc.). Live Player is not intended for native Android or iOS projects (that use Android XML or Storyboards for the user interface). Limited support for reflection (currently affects some popular NuGets, like SQLite and Json.NET). Other NuGets may still be supported. Some system classes cannot be overridden (for example, you cannot implement a subclass). Some platform features that require provisioning can't work in the Xamarin Live Player app (however it has been configured for common operations like photo gallery access). Custom targets and build steps are ignored. For example, tools like Fody, Refit, AutoFac, and AutoMapper cannot be incorporated. F # projects are not supported on Android and limited support on iOS Advanced scenarios with custom generic classes and interfaces may not be supported. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/tools/live-player/player?tabs=android%2Cwindows Option #3: Testing Mobile devices with Visual Studio using SeeTest plugin via https://web.archive.org/web/20150919162134/http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2012/05/09/testing-mobile-devices-with-visual-studio-using-seetest-plugin.aspx Some of the main advantages of SeeTestTM: Easy to use Record & play functionality that automatically generated C# code Plug& Play connectivity of the devices (via USB, WiFi or cloud configuration) Devices are as-is out of the retail store (NO JAILBREAK and NO ROOTING required) Low maintenance of tests due to Object identification by 4 methods that backup each other: Native ID, Image Recognition, Text Recognition (OCR), Web-DOM (HTML5) Fully integrative into Visual Studio with simple code export Supports ALL physical smartphones (all software versions, all physical models inc tablets) Supports ALL emulators Watch a video: https://vimeo.com/41248081 Free trial download: http://experitest.com/download Online manual: http://experitest.com/studio/help2/WebHelp/index.htm Free webinar including live demo: email support@experitest.com
