• Some or most UI developed in HTML/JS/CSS
• Have an Icon like Native Apps
• Found in the App Store like Native Apps
• Have features not found in regular web applications
• Framework Examples
• PhoneGap (Apache Cordova)
• Chrome Packaged Apps on Mobile
• Intel AppMobi

• A Black Box testing process testing inputs and outputs
• Different than White-Box testing or Unit Testing
• Pure Functional Testing is Manual
• We're going to do Grey-Box testing

• Continuous Integration on Multiple Devices
• Distributed Testing across Devices
• Written by Fil Maj - @filmaj
• Runs JavaScript test suites
• https://github.com/filmaj/medic
  

• Set up an Eclipse Project
  
• Make sure that Robotium is not in the libs directory
  
• Make sure that Robotium is first on the list of JARs to be exported
  
• Write tests using JUnit and Robotium
  

 
    public void testSound()
    {
        solo.waitForWebElement(By.textContent("Audio Play/Record"), 10, false);
        solo.clickOnWebElement(By.textContent("Audio Play/Record"));
        solo.waitForWebElement(By.textContent("Play"), 10, false);
        solo.clickOnWebElement(By.textContent("Play"));
        WebElement result = solo.getWebElement(By.textContent("Running"), 0);
        assertNotNull(result);
    }

• I didn't want to scroll, I wanted to touch
• Getting Robotium set up is a PITA
• Seems to require Eclipse
• Sometimes feels like magic when it does work
• Frustrating errors about JAR precidence, missing/undefined variables

• People are using Robotium for testing now
• Active Development for Robotium
• Commercial Support for Robotium (i.e. bitbar) 
• You don't have to roll-your-own test framework

• Java class to simulate Touch Events on Android
• Not quite done yet 
• Most likely will be abandoned for Robotium
• Abandon all hope ye who enter here

public void touch(int x, int y)
    {
        int realX = getRealCoord(x);
        int realY = getRealCoord(y);
        long downTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
        // event time MUST be retrieved only by this way!
        long eventTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
        if(!fingerDown)
        {
            MotionEvent downEvent = MotionEvent.obtain(downTime, eventTime, MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN, realX, realY, 0);
            inst.sendPointerSync(downEvent);
        }
        MotionEvent upEvent = MotionEvent.obtain(downTime, eventTime, MotionEvent.ACTION_UP, realX, realY, 0);
        inst.sendPointerSync(upEvent);
    }

 
    public void testSound()
    {
        sleep(5000);
        clicker.touch(200, 400);
        sleep(1000);
        clicker.touch(75, 325);
        sleep(10000);
        clicker.touch(75, 400);
        sleep(3000);
    }

• Pixels aren't really pixels!
• We didn't actually test anything!

  public Purity(Context ctx, Instrumentation i)
    {
        inst = i;
        DisplayMetrics display = ctx.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
        density = display.density;
        width = display.widthPixels;
        height = display.heightPixels;
   }

    private int getRealCoord(int coord)
    {
        return (int) (coord * density);
    }

• This approach is API neutral - Truly Black Box
• This approach allows for pixel control
• You know for certain when you touch down, touch move and touch up
• I don't need to use Eclipse to use this test!
