Symbian Automated Testing Tool

Question

Could you recommend any testing tool that can work on your phone (or at least emulatior) and simulate a predefined (through scripting) sequence of operations (equivalent to "press" keys, "enter" data, and so on) .d.)?

thanks

Answer 1

These two can help. but I think they are going to attract a serious investment of time and money:

testquest

digia

Answer 2

You can find the UserEmulator @teknolog tool mentioned in this Mercurial repository, source code and sis file: oss + FCL + sftools + ana + testfw.hg

From: http://sourceforge.net/projects/symbiandump/files/source/

Some documentation here: http://www.symlab.org/wiki/index.php/UserEmulator

And there is a video on YouTube.

This is for the S60 3rd and 5th releases. I gave him a quick test on Nokia E7 and N8 (Symbian ^ 3), but the phones rebooted when I tried to record a new test. At least it's open source, so you can check what happens and there are some contact email addresses there too. On the other hand, a random test works when you enter the UID of your application and it sends random keystrokes and screen taps to the device. Ideal for "monkey testing"!

Answer 3

Commercial tools are quite expensive. We rolled up our own test bench at my previous job, as well as at my current company - it’s not so difficult (and it helps if two of the guys who wrote the test bed in company A are the founders of company B!)

If you only care about the emulator, surely there are Windows recording / playback tools that can control ANY program?

Answer 4

Orange simply introduced the User Emulator Tool to Symbian. It works on S60 3rd and 5th Edition, as well as Symbian ^ 1 onwards. You must compile them yourself, but it exists in public repositories related to the Wiki.
