Overview

This guide includes detailed, step-by-step descriptions on how to work with Silk Mobile version 8.4 in order to automate testing on mobile devices and emulators.

In general, the process of working with Silk Mobile includes first hooking up to your computer via a USB/Wi-Fi connection either an actual physical mobile device to be tested or a corresponding emulator (on-site cloud configuration is also available) ; then you record and edit a script which implements a specific test scenario. Once the script has been completed, you play it, evaluate the generated execution report, and can then export the selected test code to any testing framework that you regularly use. Supported test frameworks include UFT, TestComplete, RFT, C#, JUnit, Python, and Perl. From each of these you can perform additional editing prior to running the test, then execute it, and view a report generated by the framework.
