I'm trying to add a step on my Jenkins server for testing my iOS app automatically. I know how to deploy the TestStudio app on the simulator but I have to:
run the Test Studio app on the simulator from the Terminal console
execute the test (still from terminal)
I think that using terminal commands is the best solution to integrate this operation in a Jenkins job,but if anybody comes up with a better idea I would be more than happy to hear that. Any idea how to perform these tasks?
Currently it is not possible to execute Test Studio for iOS tests from the command line.
Our next major version, due out in early 2013, includes an API automation framework. With that you can write coded unit tests that can be triggered from the command line and integrated with Jenkins.

Android debug build apk is mostly used for testing; is there any problem if I use android release build apk in Appium testing?
We can use Release build also for Appium automation but if the locator value protected by the release build we have to change to debug build .
So that its easy to write reliable script with right locators.
You can use either build when testing this issue with using a production build for testing is performing automated tests on production is not good practice. If something were to go wrong your automation could potentially dos your production servers. Many other issues can also arise, through proper setup of the app package you are using you should be able to run on either or builds. I for example am running on both a dev and qa environment with no problems.
IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition and Eclipse cannot be started after UFT and LR are installed on Windows 8.1. These applications can be started only as an administrator user. When I try to execute as a standard user I don't get any error message, seemly nothing happens, application is not started. Applications can be executed as administrator user, but don't working properly. It means Maven dependencies aren't resolved in IntelliJ IDEA and browser session cannot be started by Katalon Studio. I can't find any error logs.
When you install UFT/LR they update the JAVA OPTIONS
_JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xrunjvmhook -Xbootclasspath/a:C:\PROGRA~1\HP\QUICKT~1\bin\JAVA_S~1
\classes;C:\PROGRA~1\HP\QUICKT~1\bin\JAVA_S~1\classes\jasmine.jar
IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xrunjvmhook -Xbootclasspath/a:C:\PROGRA~1\HP\QUICKT~1\bin\JAVA_S~1
\classes;C:\PROGRA~1\HP\QUICKT~1\bin\JAVA_S~1\classes\jasmine.jar
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -agentlib:jvmhook
Just make a batch file for launching eclipse and intellij and remove these hooks and it should work. These hooks are usually added for automation and recording to work. Most of the time they are supposed to be transparent and not create an issue but with some apps they may cause partial issues.
This could be the same happening. The easiest way to test is to backup the values of these environment variables and then delete them and test if IDE works fine again
Our web application codes are stored on SVN instead with TFS. We are trying to set up our automated UI testing.
These are following tools our team are considered to use.
- Microsoft Test Manager (Create Test cases associate with User stories)
- Coded UI (Connect to TFS and Microsoft Test Manager)
- Selenium (Automated UI coded)
- Team Foundation Server 2015 (Test cases and User stories)
Web Application with URL
We only want to configure automated UI testing for our website. Is there any way to run the set up the automated testing without build through TFS?
Thank you and any feedback is appreciated.
So here is the thing,
Coded Ui is not a connector to TFS & MTM it by itself an automation
framework/tool like selenium
You don't need both Selenium & Coded UI for your automation. You only need either of it
If all you want is to get started with automation for your application, you can do it just with a version of visual studio which has Coded Ui. (The latest supporting version is Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise edition)
See this like to know How to create Coded Ui Tests , see this link to know how to Run a Coded Ui Test
It's based on your workflow. Whether your app/code is on-premises or in the cloud, you can automate build-deploy-test workflows and choose the technologies and frameworks, then test your changes continuously in a fast, scalable, and efficient manner. And just as Prageeth said, Coded Ui is an automation framework/tool just like selenium.
In TFS either code ui or selenium test more like continuous testing. The workflow is such as bleow:
First make sure that your app still works after every check-in and
build using TFS. Find problems earlier by running tests
automatically with each build. When your build is done, review your
test results to start resolving the problems that you find.
Add some related tutorials for your reference:

using Test Plan, Test Suites

continuous integration pipeline
If you insist on without building from TFS, you could also use the Code UI function with VS on local.
You can setup Test controller and Test Agent VMs in MTM test lab. This will allow you to execute your automated tests on Test Agent directly in MTM. Otherwise, you can execute Coded UI tests locally in Visual Studio.
We are building apps for iOS and Android. Currently we are experimenting with TeamCity for CI.
Currently we have various tools to help us in the Test automation.
1. Selenium: For testing the web interface
2. SOAPUI: For testing the web services
3. Calabash-iOS: For testing iOS app
This is the scenario that we have done successfully with TeamCity:
1. Developer commits code to BitBucket
2. TeamCity runs calabash
3. If calabash pass, TeamCity will build and give the artifacts
This is the scenario that I am trying to do so that I can achieve an end-to-end automated testing:
When developer commits his code to our Bitbucket git repository,
TeamCity will trigger Calabash to run and check for the UI and the output of the details. On end,
TeamCity will trigger Selenium to add data in the Back Office web. On end,
TeamCity will trigger SOAP UI to check newly added data. On end,
TeamCity will trigger Calabash to check the newly added data
Has anyone tried this before or can give me an idea on how I can approach this?
You can setup different builds for each step since you can trigger builds via simple GET requests triggered by a script. TeamCity Accessing Server by HTTP
We run a similar setup. Basically we have one build kick off the Selenium/SoapUI scripts. That build doesn't wait for the job to finish, it just kicks it off. Then in our Selenium/SoapUI tests as the last step we hit the URL for the next build that picks up reports etc.
I have been creating codedUI tests for a website in VS2010.
What I would like to do is add these tests to our build process as a form of gated checkin. So if new code produced failed tests then it this code rejected.
does anyone have any experience or know of any resouces regarding this setup.
Thanks in advance
If you are using TFS for your builds you can easily integrate the tests into your build process. If you are using something else for your build process you will need to have MSTEST installed on the build server and another machine to run the tests as an agent.
