Test Execution Specialist Guide
This guide describes how to automate the playback of the tests by using different methods such as Docker, IBM Cloud Private, Jenkins and so on. The test results can be pushed to HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel).
Configuration of test runs from the UI Test perspective
When you create Web UI, mobile, or Windows tests, you must configure the play back of the recorded tests as test runs from the UI Test perspective before you can view their test results.
Configuration of mobile test runs
After you record the tests for mobile applications by using HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI), you can play back the recorded tests by using Test UI. The test reports help you to analyze the functional and performance issues in the mobile applications developed.
Running mobile tests for Android mobile applications
After you record the tests for Android mobile applications by using HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI), you can play back the recorded tests by using Test UI.

      - Running mobile tests on an Android device or emulator connected to a computer that runs DevOps Test UI
        You can run mobile tests on Android mobile devices or emulators that are connected to a computer that runs HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI).
      - Running mobile tests on an Android device or emulator connected to a remote agent computer
        You can run mobile tests on an Android device or emulator that is connected to a remote agent computer.
      - Running mobile tests on Android devices on BitBar Cloud
        You can run mobile tests on an Android device that is connected to the BitBar Cloud.
      - Running mobile tests on Android devices on BrowserStack Cloud
        You can run mobile tests on the BrowserStack Cloud so that you can choose devices from a wide range of Android devices that are available for testing.
      - Playing back mobile tests on Android devices on pCloudy Cloud
        You can run mobile tests on an Android device that is connected to the pCloudy Cloud.
      - Running mobile tests on Android devices on Perfecto Cloud

    - Running compound tests for Android mobile applications
      After you create the compound tests for Android mobile applications by using HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI), you can play back the compound tests by using Test UI
    - Running mobile tests for iOS mobile applications
      You can run the tests for iOS mobile applications that are recorded by using HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI).
    - Running compound tests for iOS mobile applications
      After you create the compound tests for iOS mobile applications by using HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI), you can play back the compound tests.
    - Configuration of AFT Suite runs for mobile tests
      When you create mobile tests and want to use the distributed effort feature inHCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI), you must configure the AFT Suite run for the recorded mobile tests before you can view the test results.
  - Configuration of Windows test runs
    You can run Windows tests that you created for Windows desktop applications in HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI).
  - Configuration of AFT Suite runs
    When you create Web UI, mobile, or Windows tests, you must configure the play back of the recorded tests as AFT Suite runs before you can view their test results.
  - Running a test on multiple browsers and devices simultaneously
    Rather than run a Web UI test on one browser at a time, you can run a single Web UI test on multiple browsers simultaneously. Doing so can significantly speed up your test effort. You can also extend your test coverage by adding mobile devices to the test run. You can run the test from HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI), from the command line, or from Engineering Test Management. This topic describes how to run a test from the UI Test perspective.
  - Setting a global delay for test steps
    You can set the duration of a global delay in milliseconds between all the steps instead of adding the wait time manually for each of the steps in a recorded test. You can specify this global delay as a preference for the playback of Web UI, Windows, or mobile tests.
  - Configuration of test runs from the command line
    When you need to run Web UI, mobile, and windows tests using the command line without opening the desktop client to run these tests, you can use the command line of HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI).
- Configuration of test runs from the Functional Test perspective
  When you created functional tests, you must configure the run of the recorded functional tests from the Functional Test perspective before you can view the test results.

Running mobile tests for Android mobile applications

After you record the tests for Android mobile applications by using HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI), you can play back the recorded tests by using Test UI.

Before you can use Test UI to play back the recorded tests, you must record the tests for the mobile applications by using Test UI. See Recording mobile tests for Android applications.

By using Test UI, you can play back the recorded mobile test on Android devices or emulators that are connected to any of the following computers or device clouds:

Computer that runs Test UI.
Remote agent computer.
BitBar Cloud.
BrowserStack Cloud.
Perfecto Mobile Cloud.
pCloudy Cloud.

You can find information about the tasks that you can perform when you want to play back the recorded tests for Android mobile applications as follows:
