3 | Create your test

With Scriptless Mobile, you can create your test or use one of the available sample tests. The test editor display an existing test and lets you build new tests.

While creating a new test, you can add commands and checkpoints available on the side toolbar to the test editor. You can also use the Object Spy option for the open device to add commands to a test.

Object Spy helps to find objects on a device screen and identify elements. You can add the actions performed on the device screen as commands to the test.

Sample tests help you learn and play around with the application. You can customize the sample tests by making changes and saving them to a different location.

  1. On the top toolbar, click the File icon and select Open.

  2. In the Open Test dialog box, expand the Public Tests folders on the left panel.

  3. Click the Samples folder and select a test from the available list.

  4. Click OPEN.

    Restriction: You can edit the test and save it in a location other than the Public Tests folder.
