Accessibility guidelines for mobile devices are not well defined or well established.
Mobile starter stores

Test Suites are built based on JUnit and are used to select the test case that must be run. You can read the JUnit documentation on how to create a test suite and how to add test classes and test cases to a suite.

Example

Server API calls

The Storefront Test Automation Engine contains a lightweight server API calling mechanism that interacts with the WebSphere Commerce server. It is built on top of HTTP Client to create HTTP requests and to read HTTP responses. It is used to call WebSphere Commerce Accelerator by loading the HTML page. It is also used to call Management Center by calling the Services.

Note: You can also make the tests invoke the WebSphere Commerce services by using the services client stubs packaged within the development toolkit.
