Use this topic to help you get started with your testing
of Web applications on
the iOS Simulator.
Before you begin
Note the following requirements:
- Testing with the iOS Simulator requires a Macintosh computer and
Xcode.
- Install the Test Workbench Web Recorder on the iOS Simulator. The
Test Workbench Web Recorder is required to record and play back user
actions of a Web application under test. It is invoked automatically during the recording and
playback process. For details see Installing the
mobile web recorder on the iOS Simulator.
- To test with the native mobile test client in the iOS Simulator,
you will first need to install the client. For details, see Installing the mobile test client on the iOS Simulator.
Procedure
- Install HCL OneTest UI on a
Macintosh, Windows or Linux computer. For details, see ../../com.ibm.rational.test.ft.install.doc/topics/t_installing_offering.html#t_installing_offering.
- From HCL OneTest UI, create a
test project by clicking .
- Open the browser-based client by
typing the Workbench URL in the following format in the Safari browser
on the iOS Simulator:
Format: http://Workbench_URL:port/mobile
Example: http://192.0.2.24:7878/mobile
- Create a test by recording gestures and interactions. Actions
are represented in natural language, which allows you to document
and reproduce the test manually.
- Examine and enhance the test script recording as needed.
Here are some of the things you can do:
- Add verification points to verify that an expected value or
behavior is returned during a test run.
- Add variables to the test script.
- Add a loop so that the test runs multiple times
- Add a dataset to provide variable data rather than the data
that you recorded
- Add application stubs to simulate the behavior of actual objects
that interact with the application under test.
- Run the test in the iOS Simulator.
You can start a test run from the iOS Simulator or from HCL OneTest UI.
- Evaluate the test results.
