Getting Started
Below are detailed guides on how to get started testing native mobile applications:
However, a general process outline for automated testing goes like this:
- Upload the application you want to test on real devices or virtual devices (emulators and simulators) to a location where Sauce Labs can retrieve it; for example, AWS S3, GitHub, Dropbox, Sauce Storage, etc. Please keep in mind that if the application you want to test isn't publicly available / behind a firewall, you'll need to set up a secure Sauce Connect Proxy Tunnel in order for Sauce Labs to connect to the application.
- Update your test script with your Sauce Labs credentials and the path to the application you want to test, as shown in the example scripts located here:
- Set the desired capabilities of your test for the device/operating system you want to test against, and the path to your application. The topics in Test Configuration and Annotation describe the various options for desired capabilities, or you can use our Platform Configurator to set up the desired capabilities of your test.
