Mobile spec autotests include tests which on some platforms require user
interaction to complete. For example, contact save api on Windows Phone
requires user to manually click on save button. This prevents the tests to be
run as part of Medic test automation since test app just hangs on such api
calls.
Is Windows Phone special or there are similar problem on other platforms?
I'm thinking about the following possible approaches:
#1 Ad-hoc solution to Medic - replacing some test files as part of Medic
functionality (some additional wp specific build step).
#2 Extending mobile spec functionality- adding something like tests exclusion
config where you can define test ids (or even the whole api) to be skipped.
Such exclusion list could be generated on the fly and put to the app before
starting tests.
#3 If there are only few such tests we can probably add check for the current
platform to determine whether to include the test. For example:
if(!(window.MedicTestRunner && isWP8)) {testDefinition} Or the same way but
inside the test to fail gracefully.
Thoughts?
Thx!
