You can use an android emulator to help you develop your GDSL tests. It is useful if you do not have a real device or if you want to test on a device with the same resolution as a device on the Test Bench. Do not use emulator if you want measures, the metrics (energy, data …) are not available. |
1 - Change the job.yml file
...
To be able to run an application with the applicationStart gdsl function, the application should be installed on emulator first, there are 2 choices :
Install the app manually through the Play Store application or with adb or other mechanism
In the job.yml file, add an url apps field with the name of the application packagea list of application that will be install at the beginning of the test and will be uninstall at the end (Each element of the list could be a package name for playstore or a local path to an apk or a public url to an apk). Example :
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
job: urlapps: - com.android.chrome |
In the second case, it installs the app at the beginning of the test and uninstalls it at the end.
