Seetest.io - Mobile and Web Testing Platform

[Tom]

Hi all,

I’m writing this post to provide some clarifications on seetest.io - our SaaS based solution for mobile & web testing
We’ve just re-branded and launched our SaaS offering for shared pool of devices (https://cloud.experitest.com)
with an entirely new system which we have deployed and relies on Experitest SeeTestCloud solution.

We are aiming to aid developers and testers, by providing a huge array of mobile devices and desktop browsers on which they can run Appium \ Selenium tests

A couple of points that needs to be made with respect to this forum

1. Unfortunately - we had to make a hard choice, and disable the ability of Appium Studio CE to connect to the cloud - this has to do with the fact that Appium Studio was built to support locally USB connected devices, simulators and emulators - and doesn’t perform well enough (with respect of development of test cases) against remote devices

2. You can (and should ) execute test cases that you develop with Appium studio against seetest.io
   seetest.io platform fully supports all of the Appium \ Client based commands

3. If you wish to develop test cases against the cloud devices, your best option is to go with Appium Studio for Eclispe
   https://docs.experitest.com/display/TD/Appium+Studio+for+Eclipse+-+Installation

We are working on a similar InteliJ based product, which should come out by the end Q1 2018 (March 31st)
Release candidate will be available early on next month

4. We still maintain https://cloud.experitest.com, solely for the Appium Studio CE

---

I invite you all to test and try out using seetest.io - I’m always there on the chat and excited to hear your feedback!

Sorry for the long post, here is a mobile device charged with a potato

To Run the existing Appium Studio Test agasint seetest.io Cloud

1. Upload your application to seetest.io cloud - https://docs.seetest.io/display/SEET/Mobile+Applications
2. Add the access key and app capability and remove udid or specific device mentioning (name, etc)

 desiredCapabilities.setCapability("app", "cloud:<activity><package>"); //upload the app to the cloud https://docs.seetest.io/display/SEET/Mobile+Applications
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("accessKey", "<accesskey> "); // https://docs.seetest.io/display/SEET/Execute+Tests+on+seetest.io+-+Obtaining+Access+Key
	//    desiredCapabilities.setCapability("udid", "..."); remove any specific device mentioning

finally - change the URL to https://cloud.seetest.io/wd/hub

driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("https://cloud.seetest.io/wd/hub"), desiredCapabilities);
