Non-UI testing – Ranorex Studio

Next, to automate testing of the user interface of mobile applications it’s also possible to perform non-UI tests invoking technology-dependent actions (see Detailed list of actions). This feature allows you to get information about the device's hardware, operating system, etc.

Non-UI testing on Android

You can get the device info of your Android device directly by right-clicking the mobile device in Ranorex Spy.

You can access the non-UI testing methods in the action table by adding an invoke action on the mobile app.

You can also access the non-UI testing methods within User Code Actions as well as Code Modules.

The code should look something like the following:

C#

var app = repo.AndroidApp.Self.As<AndroidApp>(); 

// get an AndroidDeviceInfo object holding all available device info 

var info = app.GetDeviceInfo(); 

// get a list of SMS from the device 

var sms = app.GetSms(); 

// get a list of calls from the device 

var calls = app.GetCalls(); 

// report the manufacturer of the device 

Report.Info("Manufacturer: " + info.Manufacturer); 

// report the manufacturer of the device 

Report.Info("SMS: " + sms.ToString()); 

// report the manufacturer of the device 

Report.Info("Calls: " + calls.ToString());

VB.NET

Dim app = repo.AndroidApp.Self.[As](Of AndroidApp)() 

' get an AndroidDeviceInfo object holding all available device info 

Dim info = app.GetDeviceInfo() 

' get a list of SMS from the device 

Dim sms = app.GetSms() 

' get a list of calls from the device 

Dim calls = app.GetCalls() 

' report the manufacturer of the device 

Report.Info("Manufacturer: " & info.Manufacturer) 

' report the manufacturer of the device 

Report.Info("SMS: " & sms.ToString()) 

' report the manufacturer of the device 

Report.Info("Calls: " & calls.ToString())
