Scriptless Mobile Tests as JSON: One File for Android and iOS

Описание и применение

Файл JSON с тестами для Android и iOS позволяет быстро исправлять изменения UI, заменяя координаты на селекторы текста или id, и использовать один файл для обеих платформ.

Задача

Recorded mobile tests fail when UI elements are renamed or layout changes, requiring re-recording.

Результат

A single JSON file can be edited to fix renamed UI elements, eliminating the need to re-record tests on both platforms.

Рабочий процесс

• Start with launchApp action specifying appId for Android and iOS
• Add one step per user action, naming elements by visible text or id, no coordinates or waits
• Validate the JSON file with the validator, which reports errors per step
• Import the validated file via Tests tab or flow_import and replay on Android and iPhone

Доказательства

A recorded test usually holds three things that break: a screen position for each tap, a snapshot of the screen it was recorded on, and a device model it silently assumes.

Источник

A JSON flow keeps none of those. Each step names an element by what a person would call it (its text or its id), and each run looks for that element on the screen as it is right now.
