BlackBerry Test Automation using Unified Functional Testing

M-eux Test is the only tool that seamlessly extends Unified Functional Testing (UFT) and QuickTest Professional (QTP) from Hewlett Packard to test mobile applications. The underlying technology of UFT/QTP is re-used for test automation of mobile applications. By loading the M-eux Test add-in, the QA engineer can use all the functionalities of UFT/QTP to test mobile applications, including recording, object repository, active screen, exception handling. No information is stored outside QTP/UFT so that the integrations of UFT/QTP with HP’s Business Process Testing (BPT), ALM, Performance Center and Business Availability Center (BAC) can be applied for mobile apps

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 BlackBerry M-eux Test application. The tool can access the definition of the list field and thus test/verify the number of items in the list without actually dropping the list, the text of each item in the list, etc. Without this technique, the tool would not be able to retrieve this information from the list field. 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.

With the M-eux Test add-in loaded, QuickTest Professional can recognize the user interface elements on the actual device or in the simulator.

The seamless integration into UFT/QTP makes that the QA engineer can reuse best practices from the PC world: Descriptive Programming, Exception Handling, Object Reconfiguration, QTP frameworks (Linear framework, Functional Decomposition Framework, Keyword-Driven Framework, Data-Driven Framework, Hybrid Framework), Test Reporting, etc.

Note that the tool does not apply bitmap scraping or pattern matching or OCR techniques and thus ensuring high reliability and re-use of the test scripts.

The tool has proven its value in testing mobile applications handling dynamic data or mobile applications that are localized.

The tool contains also utility functions in order to complete the support for testing mobile applications. For example: incoming phone calls can be intercepted. SMS, e-mail messages can be sent from the background. Diagnostic functions are available showing for example the memory allocation, the number of processes running on the device and many other functions related to the hardware and software configuration of the device.
