Visual Accessors for Mobile Testing

Using visual accessors for mobile testing is new functionality that was in AIQ 4.9.0.

Further updates to the functionality have been made in AIQ 4.9.4. See Visual Accessors for Mobile Testing Enhancements for information on these functional changes.

The ability to use visual accessors has been added to the Mobile Test Designer. Visual accessors allow Mobile Designer to incorporate images into your test scripts. SmartTags Workbench and Mobile Blueprint have been enhanced so that images are defined as SmartTags and can be added to a Mobile Blueprint. This new functionality is available for both Android and iOS mobile devices.

Mobile Designer enables script recording and playback, a simpler approach to mobile test design than traditional mobile scripting. Using visual accessors allows Mobile Designer to incorporate screenshots into scripts.

Visual accessors are available for both Android and iOS mobile applications.

See the attached guides for the specific platforms for information on how the image-matching algorithm works, recommendations for getting the best results when using this feature, as well as information about setting up and configuring this new functionality.
