Android and iOS Mobile Testing Quickstart
Start recording and running mobile tests for Android or iOS apps with QApilot on local devices or supported cloud device providers.
Android and iOS Mobile Testing Quickstart
Start with a project, connect a device, record a critical flow, then run it through a test plan. QApilot supports local and cloud workflows for Android and iOS apps.
Before you begin
You need access to QApilot and an app build. Cloud workflows require an Android APK or iOS IPA. Local workflows require the supported device and local setup.
Review System Requirements before configuring your environment.
Quickstart
Create a project
Create a project for the app and test assets.
Choose a device connection
Use local recording and execution for a connected device. Use cloud recording and execution for a supported cloud provider.
Record one critical flow
Start with a high-value journey, such as sign-in or checkout. Capture it with the test recorder. Review each recorded step before saving.
Run a test plan
Create a test suite if the flow has multiple cases. Configure a test plan, select the OS, device, app source, and test data.
Review evidence
Open the resulting report. Review step outcomes, screenshots, logs, and videos when enabled.
Android considerations
The Android crawler can explore and record flows on local or cloud devices. CoWork also currently supports Android on LambdaTest.
iOS considerations
Use the standard recording and execution workflow for iOS. For shared Android and iOS cases, follow the cross-platform execution guidance.
What to do next
Create a small smoke suite first. Then add regression coverage around important business journeys.
