Webinar Recording – E2E testing of Android apps on Arm Virtual Devices

On January 19th we hosted a webinar with Oracle Cloud: we discussed mobile test automation strategy, and our teams did a detailed demonstration of how to use our Cloud devices based on Arm in the context of test automation. Our virtual devices have been available on Oracle Cloud for about 6 months and we’re receiving great feedback about how it’s helping our customers test at scale, while optimizing lead times and reducing cost. Arm virtual devices are best suited to offer a native experience to Android dev & devOps teams, and there has been a quick adoption of the product with also a few users switching from x86 cloud devices to Arm devices. To get to know more about the advantages of implementing on the same architecture through the use of Arm-based emulators, and to follow step-by-step a demo of the product, you can now watch the webinar recording: Webinar Recording And stay tuned for more tutorials and webinars!

Continuous Testing with Genymotion Cloud SaaS now on Bitrise!

We are glad to announce that Genymotion Cloud SaaS is now available to Bitrise users for continuous testing! When it comes to testing mobile apps, especially in a highly Android dominant fragmented mobile market, it becomes challenging to perform quick and efficient tests. Mobile DevOps encourages the use of multiple mobile devices in the Cloud to tackle this challenge. With Genymotion Cloud SaaS, QA engineers can spawn many Android virtual devices in the Cloud in parallel and test at scale. With Bitrise, a Continuous Integration & Delivery platform dedicated to mobile apps, users can use a powerful UI to create workflows easily, which then can build, test and deploy an app and improve efficiency by setting up the whole mobile application dev lifecycle environment. Genymotion Cloud SaaS is now available on Bitrise, so QA engineers can now easily choose the Genymotion Cloud SaaS Android virtual devices to run their tests on them using any testing framework (Espresso, Appium and so on). No need to learn how to use the Genymotion Cloud command-line tool to automate the start/stop of the devices: everything can be handled in the UI.A complete tutorial is available here

Genymotion and MoQuality team up, making it easier together to visually create Appium tests and run on Android virtual devices in the Cloud

Today, Genymotion and MoQuality are excited to announce our partnership to launch the integration of the two mobile app test-automation platforms. This partnership solves some key challenges with test automation. Many app testers are not comfortable with scripting automated tests and find it challenging to setup a robust and reliable test infrastructure. A second challenge is the fragmentation of mobile devices in the market. It is becoming increasingly difficult to test on such a vast number of devices. Now, our users can easily create automated tests using MoQuality’s test authoring and Robo Testing tools and run them instantly on Genymotion’s cloud-based virtual devices. What is MoQuality? MoQuality, Inc is an Atlanta based provider of fast and reliable mobile app testing solutions driven by artificial intelligence which make test automation easier. MoQuality’s SaaS solution integrates an easy-to-use test authoring tool with test runs on both real and virtual mobile devices in the cloud and a dashboard to make your development workflow truly agile. MoQuality’s Robo Testing AI learns from user behavior from several apps and auto-explores each screen in the app and checks for crashes and UI issues. It increases your test coverage so that you can ship your app with confidence. Learn more about MoQuality.   Why use MoQuality and Genymotion together? This integration makes it easy to get started with test-automation for anyone who is new to Appium and other mobile test frameworks. It adds the capability for users to test their apps on various combinations of older devices and OS versions also which are unavailable in the market now but still are being used by many end-customers. Users can now use MoQuality’s test-authoring tools to create tests without writing any scripts, but also generate, edit and run Appium scripts on the fly. With the integration, it is now possible to directly run these tests on 200+ cloud-based virtual devices instantly. Test runs can be triggered directly from MoQuality or from your favorite CI tool. The MoQuality platform builds and maintains the required test infrastructure and dependencies including managing the devices and running the tests in parallel. The test run errors, device logs, UI issues, performance insights are aggregated, and instantly available in one comprehensive dashboard, which can be shared with the team to recreate and resolve the issues.   How to get started with test automation for mobile apps in minutes Sign up for a free trial on http://app.moquality.com Upload your Android .apk app file to MoQuality Create an automated test for your app using MoQuality’s test-authoring tools Configure a test run by choosing your app version, test, test data and devices available on the Genymotion cloud.

Dev Tips, Mobile Testing, Use Cases

How testing your app early helps protect your Play Store ranking

This post explores the strong links between app quality and app store ranking. To offer you the best insight, we’ve collaborated with our friends at Gummicube who are experts in App Store Optimization – When it comes to developing apps, the user experience is vital. It’s one of the core aspects of an app that can set it apart from the competition. With thousands of apps launched daily, developers want to make sure they stand out by giving users the best experience possible. Unfortunately, bugs present a challenge that cause the downfall of many apps. Google Play does not tolerate buggy apps, and if Google notices users frequently leaving negative reviews about an app’s performance, they will make sure to hide it from users. Fortunately with Genymotion, it is possible to prevent this from happening. Bugs Ruin User Experience When it comes to the user experience, bugs are always bad. They tend to ruin the user experience and can lead users to uninstall apps. Even worse, if too many app crashes, application-not-responding (ANRs) or uninstalls accrue, Google Play will take away that app’s keyword rankings to ensure users don’t download a buggy app. One less buggy app is great for users, but it means loss of discoverability for that particular app, as well as overall installs. Before launching an app or new update, it’s important to ensure that the build does not contain performance issues or major bugs. Otherwise a company’s App Store Optimization (ASO) strategy can be ruined. How Bugs Affect Keyword Rankings When poor performance, negative reviews and uninstalls rise, Google Play starts flagging the underperforming app, causing it to fall back in rankings. Click-through-rate and daily installs start suffering as visibility falls more and more. This then leads the app to become increasingly irrelevant which causes a further loss in rankings. Eventually, Google Play may deem the app as so irrelevant due to poor user experience, that the app can lose its ranking completely for a given keyword. Through App Store Optimization, developers can work to counteract this negative trend and improve their rankings by targeting additional keywords to expand their keyword reach. However, if an app is receiving too many uninstalls, ANRs or crashes, then its ASO efforts can be negated. It is important that developers ensure their apps are bug-free before they are launched or updated. This is where Genymotion is able to help developers. How Genymotion Helps Improve User Experience & ASO With Genymotion’s testing features, developers are able to properly test their app beforehand, helping prevent a bug from disrupting the user experience once live. Running large scale, automated tests, reducing the amount of testing cycles needed to polish an app. This helps with two major factors 1. It saves large amounts of time as developers are able to sniff out bugs much quicker and thus resolve them faster. 2. It allows developers to stress test their apps and understand how performance changes, as well as whether or not servers are able to handle a large influx of traffic. It’s important to thoroughly test an app, because once a build goes live, it is open season. When a bug appears, developers need to resolve it quickly before it leads to a bad user experience, and ultimately damages the efforts accomplished by ASO. With Genymotion, developers are able to weed out bugs before a build goes live, ensuring the user experience is kept safe. By using Genymotion, developers are able to focus on creating a great app, and not be tied down with constant bug fixes and repeated testing.

Ebook: The virtues of emulators in mobile testing

  An effective and economical tool to enhance user experience To cover as much of your target audience as possible, you need to ensure the broadest coverage of devices and OS combinations for your application. Buying, managing, storing, and securing hundreds of combinations is costly and time consuming. While physical devices are more realistic than virtual devices, emulators let you perform testing more quickly and generate faster feedback into the development lifecycle. The aim of this turnkey ebook brought to you by Hewlett Packard Enterprise & Genymobile is to show the complementarity of both real devices and emulators by examining the use case. DOWNLOAD EN
