IPhone/IPad
User interface object recognition
M-eux test can access the attributes of the user interface elements as they are defined in the mobile operating system. This is an essential technique that has been used by test automation tools on the PC for many years. M-eux Test brings this functionality to the mobile world.
In the enclosed figure, you have a window of the Iphone UICatalog application. The tool can access the definition of the picker and thus test/verify that the picker is enabled, how many items are in the picker without moving the picker, the text of each item in the picker, ... Without this technique, the tool would not be able to retrieve this information from the picker. Using M-eux Test you can access all these attributes and create simple scripts that are at the same time very powerful and reusable.
It is the only technique to deal with the high dynamic interfaces of the mobile applications. Windows of mobile applications are not classic windows. They interact with the user using swipes, gestures, expanded spinner elements, highly interactive lists and many other techniques.
Jamo Solutions did not create a scripting tool of their own. Instead we chose to extend existing well know tools so that the QA engineers can re-use their experience and are not locked into a specific environment.
