Using The Application Manager
The Application Manager is located just under the device tab, and is used to manually instrument and manage the different applications imported into Silk Mobile.
Note: All actions performed manually from the Application Manager can also be integrated into your automation scripts by means of the equivalent utility commands.
When a device is selected on the device tab, the Application Manager will display all imported applications which are compatible this device’s operating system.
Using the Command Icons and Pop-up Menu Commands
Clicking the appropriate numbered icon (above) performs the following actions:
-
Install Application. Installs the selected application on the selected device. Can be automated in scripts using the Install command.
-
Launch Application. Launches the selected application (in the instrumented mode) on the selected device. Can be automated in scripts using the Launch command.
-

-

-
Import/Sign Application. Imports an application into the Silk Mobile and instruments it. Can be automated in scripts using the Install command (with the sign parameter set to true). For more on this process, see Preparing Native Applications For Testing.
When you right-click on the name of a selected application the following commands are displayed:
-

-
Copy Name. Copies the name of the selected application to the clipboard.
-
Import Language Files. Imports the all the various languages files packaged with the selected application. After having imported these files,you can create test set that will run on different languages versions of the application. For details on using this feature, see Using Language Properties Files.
