Mobile App Options

Please see the examples below on how to customize your test run on our mobile emulators and devices.

Appium Options

Appium provides a lot of options to configure your test.

Some important options that might help:

For Android:

appActivity and appPackage: by default, Appium will try to extract the main Activity from your apk. If this fails, you can supply your own with these options.
chromeOptions: additional chromedriver options you can supply.
otherApps: a JSON array of other apps that need to be installed, in URL format.

For Android & iOS:

locale: the language of the simulator/device (ex: fr_CA)
newCommandTimeout: How long (in seconds) Appium will wait for a new command from the client before assuming the client quit and ending the session

Specifying Appium Version

TestingBot will use the most recent, compatible, Appium version according to the device, OS and version you specify.

If you'd like to specify your own Appium version, you can do this with the appiumVersion capability.

caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.new
caps["appiumVersion"] = "2.0"

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability("appiumVersion", "2.53.1");

$caps = array(
  "appiumVersion" => "2.0"
);

capabilities = {
  "appiumVersion" : "2.0"
}

const capabilities = {
  "appiumVersion" : "2.0"
}

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.SetCapability("appiumVersion", "2.0");

Selenium W3C Example:

caps = {
  platformName: "iOS",
  deviceName: "iPhone 13",
  browserVersion: "16.0",
  app: 'https://testingbot.com/appium/sample.ipa',
  "tb:options" => {
    "appiumVersion" : "2.0"
  }
}

ChromeOptions chromeOpts = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOpts.setExperimentalOption("w3c", true);

MutableCapabilities tbOptions = new MutableCapabilities();
tbOptions.setCapability("key", "api_key");
tbOptions.setCapability("secret", "api_secret");
tbOptions.setCapability("appiumVersion", "2.0");

caps.setCapability("platformName", "iOS");
caps.setCapability("tb:options", tbOptions);
caps.setCapability("deviceName", "iPhone 13");
caps.setCapability("browserVersion", "16.0");
caps.setCapability("app", "https://testingbot.com/appium/sample.ipa");

Appium 2 Versions

We currently support these Appium 2 versions:

2.11.3
2.10.3
2.9.0
2.5.1
2.4.1
2.3.0
2.2.1

If you specify "appiumVersion": "latest", TestingBot will automatically use the latest Appium version. You can also use latest-1, latest-2, ... to test on the next most recent versions of Appium.

Change Device Timezone

TestingBot allows you to change the timezone of the mobile device (physical or emu/sim) to a timezone that you specify. Simply pass in a timeZone capability specifying a timezone from the list. You can find a list of timezones on Wikipedia.

caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.new
caps["timeZone"] = "Etc/UTC"

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability("timeZone", "Etc/UTC");

$caps = array(
  "timeZone" => "Etc/UTC"
);

capabilities = {
  "timeZone" : "Etc/UTC"
}

const capabilities = {
  "timeZone" : "Etc/UTC"
}

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.SetCapability("timeZone", "Etc/UTC");

Selenium W3C Example:

Localization Options

Please see the Localization Options documentation to learn how to set the locale and language of the device during your automated tests.

Geolocation Testing

TestingBot provides an option where you can specify from which country you'd like to run the test from.

Once you specify this option, the device we provision for your test will be configured to use a proxy in the country you specified.

caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.new
caps["testingbot.geoCountryCode"] = "DE"

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability("testingbot.geoCountryCode", "DE");

$caps = array(
  "testingbot.geoCountryCode" => "DE"
);

capabilities = {
  "testingbot.geoCountryCode" : "DE"
}

const capabilities = {
  "testingbot.geoCountryCode" : "DE"
}

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.SetCapability("testingbot.geoCountryCode", "DE");

Important: this does not work on Android 4.4

Upload files to device

You can upload files to the remote iOS or Android device, prior to starting a test. More information is available on this page: upload files to device.

Throttle Network

TestingBot provides a throttle network feature, which will simulate specific network conditions during a test.

We offer various presets:

Edge:
- 250kbps download
- 150kbps upload
- 0% Loss
- 300ms Latency
3G:
- 400kbps download
- 100kbps upload
- 0% Loss
- 100ms Latency
4G:
- 18000kbps download
- 9000kbps upload
- 0% Loss
- 100ms Latency
airplane:
Simulates Airplane Mode (no network connectivity)
disable:
Revert the throttling to no throttling.

We also offer the possibility to specify your own download, upload, loss and latency values.

You can pass a preset or specific options at the start of your test (through the capabilities), or during the test (with execute_script).

At the start of a test:

caps = {
  throttle_network: "3G",
  throttle_network: {
    uploadSpeed: 10 * 1024,
    downloadSpeed: 10 * 1024,
    latency: 0,
    loss: 0
  }
}

# or
((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("tb:throttle", "{\"downloadSpeed\":10*1024, \"uploadSpeed\": 10*1024, \"latency\": 0, \"loss\": 0}");

To stop network throttling during your test, pass disable: true in the tb:throttle options via the execute_script.

mobile: shell

You can execute ADB shell commands during your automated test, with Appium's mobile: shell functionality.

This allows you to fetch or set various settings for the device or emulator, during your automated test. For example, send a custom input event, or use dumpsys, pm clear or others.

When running a test on an emulator, all ADB shell commands are allowed.

For tests running on physical devices, we maintain a whitelist of allowed commands

Whitelisted ADB commands for physical devices:

am start
am force-stop
pm clear
input
(ls|cp|mkdir|echo|grep|cut|pwd|dumpsys)
getprop
am compat enable
cmd connectivity airplane-mode (enable|disable)
settings put global (animator_duration_scale|transition_animation_scale|window_animation_scale) <VALUE>
setprop debug.firebase.analytics.app <VALUE>
setprop (log.tag.FA|log.tag.FA-SVC) (ERROR|WARN|INFO|DEBUG|VERBOSE)
setprop (log.tag.FA|log.tag.FA-SVC|log.tag.GAv4|log.tag.GAv4-SVC) (ERROR|WARN|INFO|DEBUG|VERBOSE)
appops set <PACKAGE_NAME> REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES allow

driver.execute_script('mobile: shell', { command: 'input', args: ['keyevent', 3] })

driver.executeScript("mobile: shell", ImmutableMap.of(

    { "args", new List<string> { "keyevent", "3" } }
};
((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("mobile: shell", args);

Device Name

When running a mobile automated test, you'll need to specify on which mobile device (or simulator/emulator) you want to test.

caps = {
  deviceName: "Samsung S21"	
}

ChromeOptions chromeOpts = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOpts.setExperimentalOption("w3c", true);

MutableCapabilities tbOptions = new MutableCapabilities();

caps.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
caps.setCapability("tb:options", tbOptions);
caps.setCapability("deviceName", "Samsung S21");

tbOptions = {
	'name': 'W3C Sample'
}

chromeOpts =  {
    'deviceName': "Samsung S21",
    'platformName': "Android",
    'goog:chromeOptions': {'w3c': True},
    'tb:options': tbOptions
}

    "goog:chromeOptions" : { "w3c" : true },
    "tb:options": {
        "key": "api_key",
        "secret": "api_secret"
    }
}).usingServer("https://hub.testingbot.com/wd/hub").build();

var chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions()
{
    PlatformName = "Android",
    UseSpecCompliantProtocol = true
};
var tbOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    ["key"] = "api_key",
    ["secret"] = "api_secret",
    ["name"] = TestContext.CurrentContext.Test.Name,
    ["deviceName"] = "Samsung S21"
};

chromeOptions.AddAdditionalCapability("tb:options", tbOptions, true);

driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("https://hub.testingbot.com/wd/hub"),
    chromeOptions.ToCapabilities(), TimeSpan.FromSeconds(600));

Physical Devices Only

We offer special parameters which you can use to allocate a device:

Regex Input	Result
`"iPhone.*"`	This will allocate any available iPhone device (phone)
`".Galaxy."`	This will allocate any of the available Galaxy devices (phone or tablet)
`"*"`	This will allocate a random available device, either iOS or Android device
`"iPhone [8-11]"`	This will allocate either an iPhone 8 or 11
`"iPhone 6.*"`	This will allocate either an iPhone 6 or 6S

Some Examples:

// find any iPhone, except 6 or 6s
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "^(iPhone.*)(?!6|6S)$");

// find any device which name starts with Samsung
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Samsung.*");

Device Version

You can specify the version of the device you want to target. In case of physical devices, you might want to use regex/wildcard patterns to target a broad range of devices. This way your chance of hitting an occupied device during your automated test decreases significantly.

Instead of only targetting a specific iOS or Android device, you can target a wider range of devices.

Maximum Test Duration

The maximum duration for a single test. This is a safeguard to prevent bad tests from using up your credits.

Customize Logging

By default, TestingBot records logs of all test actions and its drivers.

Set this option to false if you don't want TestingBot to record anything (for example, if you have sensitive data).
You will not see any test logs in our member dashboard.
Set to strip-parameters to prevent the POST/GET parameters from being logged on the TestingBot test detail page (does not affect other logs like Appium logs, Chromedriver logs, ...).
