Sharing test resource files within a team

To share tests with your team members and work in a collaborative environment, you must retain the resource file (.ma file) that is generated when an application under test is added to the test workbench. A possible scenario could be that a developer working with a project team collaboration tool (for example, Rational Team Concert) delivers an application so that it can be tested by a teammate who is a software test specialist.
The .ma resource file is created when you upload an application from the mobile test client or when you import an application in the test workbench. It is created in the following two ways for all native Android, iOS, hybrid, and web applications.
The different uses of the .ma file:
Note: The .ma file contains everything that is needed to test the application. For Android, it contains the original apk files, so your teammates can run the tests on any device or emulator that is connected to their test workbench.
