Preparing Applications For Testing

Normally you do not need to prepare applications for testing. You can use your application as is, and even test applications that are downloaded from the App Store.

In other cases, you may be working with an Enterprise Build Application that required additional steps to ensure you can test on it, or you may need to instrument an Application where the testing code is running in the application process. (The instrumentation process doesn't require the code of the application but just the compiled artifact (IPA / APK files).)

This section will cover few common scenarios and how to approach them in the correct way.

Here are some common use cases where Instrumentation is required:

• An application that contains WebView (Hybrid application).
• Application with nonstandard UI elements.
• You need more options to identify elements.
• Faster test execution is required.
• Use some advance coverage feature like camera image injection, telematics, and integration with Siri.
