How would you test "user interaction" of Android app, that you didn't build and don't have access to code?<br> <br> Eg. Calculator app. As user, you would press on screen,<br> 2 + 3 =<br> and you get <br> 5<br> on the screen.<br> <br> So, how would you duplicate this user interaction, without actually pressing the screen buttons?<br> What <b>keywords</b> should I search online?<br> <br> On Windows, there is TeamViewer that you can click and type remotely. I did use it manually, but never via scripts or macros.<br> <br> On Linux, there is VNC macro which duplicates key press and mouse click. I did use it, long long ago. </div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div>kwlug-disc mailing list<br></div><div>To unsubscribe, send an email to <a href="mailto:kwlug-disc-leave@kwlug.org">kwlug-disc-leave@kwlug.org</a><br></div><div>with the subject "unsubscribe", or email<br></div><div><a href="mailto:kwlug-disc-owner@kwlug.org">kwlug-disc-owner@kwlug.org</a> to contact a human being.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><span></span></div></body></html>
