The following table lists the commands available in Scriptless Mobile along with descriptions and references to more information, where available.

Group	Command	Description	More info
AI commands	AI Visual Checkpoint	Utilizes AI to validate semantic and contextual information on the open device screen, regardless of specific elements. You can specify what you need to validate independent of the screen structure.
Applications	Clean application	Cleans the data (including cache) from any application installed on the device and brings the application back to its initial state. This saves time and instantly resets the app for the next test. To use this command, the application identifier is required. For information on retrieving the application identifier, see Application identifier.	Perfecto extension: Clean application
Applications	Close application	Closes an application on the device. The application process is killed, not minimized. If you reopen the application, the application will launch from the start page. (If you minimize the application, for example by using the Home button, the application will launch from the last page previously open.) To use this command, the application identifier is required. For information on retrieving the application identifier, see Application identifier. This command does not clear the cache. Service applications that live forever in the background may be auto-relaunched.	Perfecto extension: Close application
Applications	Get installed applications	Gets the list of applications installed on the device.
Applications	Install application	Installs a single application on the device, using automation. To use this command, the application must first be uploaded to the Perfecto repository. The PerfectoLabUtils class provides the uploadMedia method to upload a file to the Repository.	Perfecto extension: Install application
Applications	Run app in background	Identifies the active application automatically, moves it to the background for the timeout defined, and then returns it to the foreground. You can check how your application behaves when coming back into foreground: Is your data saved? Is your session alive? Did your application crash?	Perfecto extension: Run app in background
Applications	Set fingerprint	Injects the authentication reply for a fingerprint check performed by the application. The command should be activated by the automation script at the point that the target application presents a "popup" indicating that the application is trying to retrieve information from the fingerprint reader. The application must have been installed with sensor instrumention enabled. To use this command, one of the two application identifiers is required. For information on retrieving the application identifier, see Application identifier.	Perfecto extension: Set fingerprint
Applications	Set sensor authentication	Injects the authentication reply for a sensor authentication check performed by the application (such as fingerprint or faceId) on supported devices. The command should be activated by the automation script at the point that the target application presents a popup window indicating that the application is trying to retrieve information from the sensor reader. The application must have been installed with sensor instrumentation enabled. To use this command, one of the two application identifiers is required. For information on retrieving the application identifier, see Application identifier.
Applications	Start activity	Starts an Android activity on the device. Android applications are composed of a series of "Activity" units. Each Activity presents a UI screen that allows users to perform some part of the application, such as call a number, take a photo, send an email, or view a map. When testing the application, it may be desirable to start the application execution from a specific Activity, rather than the initial Activity (usually referred to as the `.Main`). Applications can be large and complex, written by many development teams. The start activity and sync activity commands enable a tester to start and sync a specific activity on the device and decreases the time it takes to write a test, allowing more coverage in a dynamic environment where time to develop tests is short.	Perfecto extension: Start activity

Device > Vitals	Start vitals	Starts collecting part or all of the real-time vitals data generated by the device until the Vitals stop command is invoked or the script ends. The collected information helps determine how efficient an application is at using resources as well as measuring the general device performance.	Perfecto extension: Vitals start
Device > Vitals	Stop vitals	Ends the collection of device vitals. The collected information is saved as a CSV file in the repository. Once script execution is complete, the CSV file is available for download from the Single Test Report. If the script contains several start/stop pairs for the same device, there will be a single CSV file for the device, provided the device remains open. Numerous open/close device actions in the scrip will result in several CSV files. In other words, a CSV file is generated per device closure. If the data collection frequency interval, defined by the Vitals start function, is shorter than the script runtime, no CSV file is created.	Perfecto extension: Vitals stop
Device	Close device	Releases one ore more devices previously allocated to the current session/script execution. When a device is closed, it will automatically be returned to its default state, orientation, and home screen.

Script > Flow	Continue	Stops the flow of the current loop iteration and continues it in the next loop iteration. The Continue function should be used within a condition. There is no value or logic in using it outside of a condition because the script lines following it will not be executed and are unnecessary.	Native automation: Continue
Script > Flow	Exit	Stops the flow of the current script. If the script is nested, the execution flow returns to the parent script. The Exit function should be used within a condition. There is no value or logic in using it outside of a condition because the script lines following it will not be executed and are unnecessary.	Native automation: Exit
Script > Flow	Get embedded result	Accepts the value from the return variable of the embedded test. The Get command accepts the Value parameter from the `Return Embedded result` command and further processes it as the result variable of the main test. You must always use a single `Get embedded result` command in the main test to accept the value from the return variable produced by the `Return embedded result` command.
Script > Flow	Return embedded result	Returns the result of the embedded test to the main test. The return command ends the execution of the embedded test and returns a variable.

UI Objects > Webpage	Webpage.Element.Info.CSS	Retrieves the specified css property value of a web page control and can insert its value into a defined variable. Use the property parameter to specify the element property to retrieve.
UI Objects > Webpage	Webpage.Element.Set	Uses an element identifier (HTML attribute value or XPath) to search for the element in the display of the active window and then enters the supplied text into the element. Use the text parameter to specify the text to set. Assumes that the display is using DOM elements.
(No group)	Comment	Adds a comment in the script. Comments appear in the script and in the generated report.	Native automation: Comment
(No group)	Drag	Performs the drag gesture. You can define the touch sequence coordinates and time frame of the drag. The location parameter supplies the coordinates of the start and end points of the drag. There is a touchdown at the beginning of the drag and a touch-up at the end of the drag. A touchdown is performed with the first pair of coordinates. This is followed by a drag through all the coordinates until the last one, where a touch-up is performed.	Perfecto extension: Drag
(No group)	Find image	Finds an image (needle) on the device screen (haystack) and stores the coordinates for future commands. By default, the find image function searches for the image on the current screen.	Perfecto extension: Find image
(No group)	Find text	Locates the test specified by the content parameter and stores its coordinates on the device for future use by other operations. Note that these coordinates are not sent back as return value. This command is used as the first step in a Visual Relationship sequence: Perform Find text to identify the location of the string on the screen. Perform a text visual analysis command using the visual relation parameters to identify the element relative to the text identified with the Find text execution.	Perfecto extension: Find text
(No group)	Gesture	Performs a multi-touch operation called pinch and zoom. For this gesture, the start and end coordinates must be defined. It is also possible to define the duration of the gesture. The start and end coordinates specify the touch sequence path for a single finger. The other finger is symmetrical.	Perfecto extension: Gesture
(No group)	Home	Brings the device to its idle/home screen. For iOS and Android devices, the device is unlocked and returned to its default rotate orientation. For example, iOS devices are returned to portrait mode and iPad devices to landscape mode. Use this function at the beginning of a script to ensure a known starting point for the user.
(No group)	Press key	Clicks on a single or sequence of special device keys (either control or keyboard). You can hover over the device keys to identify them, then enter the Keys parameter according to the required syntax. Common keys include: LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, OK, BACK, MENU, VOL_UP, VOL_DOWN, CAMERA, CLEAR Important: The listed keys are not necessarily supported by all devices. The available keys depend on the device. Presskey will always press the keyboard keys according to the default layout configuration.	Perfecto extension: Press key
(No group)	Screen text	Returns the text that appears on the screen of the device (but does not select the text). The retrieved screen text can be stored in a defined String variable or to a location in the Perfecto Repository (see key parameter) and then used with the string compare and string attribute checkpoints.	Perfecto extension: Screen text
(No group)	Screenshot	Captures an image of the current screen display, in the selected format. The digital screenshot included in the report. Additional configurations include capturing an analog image, saving the image in the repository, and reducing the image resolution for long scripts that result in large reports. Use this function to see how the application looks at any given time during a script run. For additional time saving, enable the Grid label advanced parameter to generate a separate view mode with customizable screenshot labels. You can also use this command for dynamic image validation during runtime. This means that during runtime, a device screenshot image can be saved to the repository and then compared to the current screen on the device to validate what was expected.
(No group)	Select image	Clicks on the image (needle) in the PNG file whose name is indicated by the content parameter. Store the image in the repository prior to running this command. By default, the select image function searches for the text on the current screen. If there is a possibility that the selected text is not on the current screen, enable the Scroll and search parameter. When enabled, the default scroll direction is down. For iOS devices, the default scroll direction is right. To change the scroll direction to down, select body in the Search area parameter. Prerequisite: The image to be searched must be uploaded to the Perfecto repository. In the command, the repository location will be selected in the Expected Needle parameter. For information on uploading files to the repository, see Manage the repository.	Perfecto extension: Select image
(No group)	Select text	Clicks on the text specified by the label parameter. By default, the select text function searches for the text on the current screen. However, if there is a possibility that the selected text is not on the current screen, enable the Scroll and search parameter. When enabled, the default scroll direction is down. For iOS devices, the default scroll direction is right. To change the scroll direction to down, select body in the Search area parameter.	Perfecto extension: Select text
(No group)	Swipe	Performs the swipe gesture, which is a three-part gesture: A touchdown at the start coordinates A move to the end coordinates A touch-up at the end coordinates The relationship between the start and end coordinates defines the direction vector of the swipe. It is possible to also define the time frame of the swipe. The start and end coordinate values can be in pixels or in percentage. Always use the same type for both coordinates. The (0,0) point is in the upper left corner of the screen. The x-coordinate value increases to the right and the y-coordinate value increases to the bottom.	Perfecto extension: Swipe
(No group)	Touch	Performs a touch operation on the specified coordinate location. A long press can be performed by using the durationparameter. A touchdown press is released with a touch- up release.	Perfecto extension: Touch
(No group)	Type	Enters text into a field on the device screen. The device should be in text-entry-mode: either the virtual keyboard is open or the cursor is waiting for text. Most platforms support Unicode and allow text in any language. On most devices, the text is sent directly to the operating system, disregarding the keyboard.
(No group)	Wait	Waits the specified duration before performing the next script step. As a best practice, use the Timeout parameter and not the Wait command.	Native automation: Wait
