Alternatives for installing, starting, and instrumenting an app

If you're using Selenium Remote WebDriver (RWD) or working in an environment where Appium capabilities aren't available, you can install, start, and instrument applications using Perfecto’s proprietary commands.

This method involves the following separate commands:

• mobile:application:install – to install an app from the Perfecto repository

• mobile:application:open – to start the app on the device

• Offline instrumentation – to prepare Android apps before installation

These commands are typically used together as part of the same test flow. To learn more:
