nativedriver


Native application GUI automation with extended WebDriver API

NativeDriver is an implementation of the WebDriver API which drives of the UI of a native application rather than a web application.

We plan to make NativeDriver a multi-platform tool. We are currently working on the following versions:

  • Android - usable and in the SVN repository.
  • iOS - usable and in the SVN repository.
  • Windows - Experimental and prototype phase

WebDriver is used to do functional testing of web applications on many platforms and browsers. By applying WebDriver and all related technologies to native applications, we hope to bridge the gap and alleviate the impedance mismatch between Web Applications and Native Applications.

First Steps

  • See the introduction presentation slides here. Learn why should we use WebDriver and what a NativeDriver test case looks like.
  • for Android
    • Read the Getting started wiki and run Android NativeDriver yourself.
    • Make your own application testable with NativeDriver

  • for iOS

    • Read the Getting started wiki and run iOS NativeDriver yourself.
    • Make your own application testable with NativeDriver
