UI Automation Activities
Managing mobile device manager
Manage your devices and applications through Mobile Device Manager (MDM).
- Access to MDM is done only through Studio
- You can only start a single MDM instance at a time.
Mobile Device Manager fires up showing you a Welcome tab where you can quickly take several actions, such as starting an application or opening a log.
The following table lists the actions that you can take in the Welcome tab.
|
Action |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Open Devices |
Open the Devices tab. For more information, see Managing Device. |
|
Open Applications |
Open the Applications tab. For more information, see Managing Applications. |
|
Start an application |
Create a connection by selecting a device and an application, and switching logging settings. For more ways of starting an application, see Starting an Application. |
|
Open log |
Choose and open a log in a new tab to review actions, requests, and events. For more information, see Logs and Execution Timeline. |
|
Export Configurations |
Export the list of configured devices and applications as a JSON file. |
|
Import Configurations |
Import the list of configured devices and applications as a JSON file. New configurations are added on top of existing ones, if applicable. Duplicate devices and applications are deleted if found during importing. |
The project settings apply to the current project only. You can change the default log path, configure device interaction settings, or variables your devices and applications.
To configure project settings, open Mobile Device Manager, and navigate to Project Setting > Project Level Settings. The following table lists the settings that you can configure at the project level.
|
Settings |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Logs path |
Change the default log path. Consider setting the log path to a shared network drive to expand member access to resources. For more information, see Logs and Execution Timeline. |
|
Context-aware elements discovery |
Improve element discoverability when you hover your mouse over the device, based on context-awareness. This feature is activated by default. For more information, see Device Interaction. |
|
Maximum allowed lengths for IDs |
Set a practical length for your element ID. The default value is set to
40.
|
|
Normalize slider value |
Set a range for your slider value between 0 and 1. |
Define variables to build dynamic values. For example, if you have an Appium endpoint, you can define a variable to be used for all of your devices. You can use variables when you configure both devices and applications.
To configure variables:
- Open Studio and navigate to Mobile Automation > Mobile Device Manager.
- Navigate to Project Settings > Variables.
- Configure a Name and a Value. You can only add letter characters.
- Click Save & Close.
When you configure devices, you can use variables for the following fields:
- Name
- Device Name
- Platform Version.
For application configuration, you can use variables for the following fields:
- App
- App Package
- App Activity
- Start Page.
Add custom http headers to the default one that Appium generates to allow for an easier mobile testing experience behind a proxy. Custom Http headers allow mobile testing to work with proxies that accept only certain headers, by specifically adding them. The custom headers that you add don't overwrite the already existent header, but they add to the collection of values that the header can support.
- Open Studio and navigate to Mobile Automation > Mobile Device Manager.
- Navigate to Project Settings > Http Headers.
-
Configure a Key (name of the custom header) and a Value (the actual value of the custom header).
You can't add variables inside the Value field.
- Click Save & Close.
- Select the connection details
inside the Mobile Device Connection activity or the Connect
API.
The custom Http Headers that you added inside MDM are imported in the activity, inside the Http Headers collection.
- Add more custom Http headers inside the Http Headers collection from
the activity.
These headers won't appear inside MDM, but they will apply for the mobile device connection that you created before adding them.Warning:
If you change the details of the mobile device connection you:
- Lose the Http headers created directly in the Mobile Device Connection activity or the Connect API, inside the Http Headers collection.
- Maintain the Http headers created directly in MDM.
If you want to debug certain errors or warnings, you can take the messages that appear in the Output panel of Mobile Device Manager and copy them for further troubleshooting. Additionally, you can check the Logs and execution timeline for that automation.
