Use native browsers for mobile web testing(IOS/Android) - 2018
Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2018 3:44 pm
Hello,
I have been on a mission these last two weeks to test real devices and emulated devices with our browser based app. Whilst we have the option to push browser tests to BrowserStack, this is very expensive if you want to test on devices. So I am tasked with investigating if Ranorex can run tests on real and emulated devices.
I need to test our browser based product via the native apps, Chrome and Safari. For this reason, using the RxBrowser is out of the question. After all, my end users will not be using the RxBrowser.
I searched the Ranorex site for help/information/instructions. I read on the forum that Ranorex can test native browsers, but the link provided sent me to the user guide and the user guide doesn't tell you how to test on native browsers, it tells you how to install RxBrowser.
Eventually I found a site with a video that walked you through setting up Ranorex and Appium to test on real and simulated Android devices.
Today I have found the tempting https://blog.testproject.io/2018/06/11/ ... thout-mac/, but this looks like using something that isn't Ranorex, and now that I'm invested in Ranorex, I'd rather keep using it.
Can anyone advise how I could now connect the ipad on my desk for the same purpose, and then, later, how to run an emulator for iOS devices, and press Run on Ranorex Studio and have my tests execute on Safari, on either a real device, or an emulated one?
