After generating a test from a recording, you can run the test on multiple mobile devices
and simulators and also initiate a test run from the test workbench.
About this task
Tests created for native or hybrid applications must be run on the same platform (Android or iOS)
on which they were recorded. There is no such restriction for tests of web applications or of hybrid
applications built with IBM® MobileFirst Platform Foundation,
as they can be recorded and run on either platform. If you test web applications, the IBM Rational® Test Workbench Mobile
Web Recorder is used to record and run your tests.
Note: When you run a test from the mobile
client on mobile devices, it uses the same values that you used during
recording. If you modify the test script and create a datapool or
variable, or if you add a condition, a loop, custom code, references
or add other statements, they are not taken into account by the mobile
client at run time. To verify that the initial recorded values are
substituted with variable data, you must initiate the test run from
the workbench.
