Comprehensive Windows Mobile Application Automation TestComplete offers versatile automation capabilities and not only drives applications on Windows mobile devices just like your users would, but also accurately verifies and logs the results. TestComplete’s automated Windows mobile tests can:
Simulate user actions on the mobile device, such as:
text entry
pressing device buttons
touch screen actions: taps, double taps, tap-and-holds and drags
handwritten text entry
Retrieve and validate data in applications
Capture and verify device screen images
Launch and close applications
Soft reset the device
Get device information: name, screen resolution, CPU and memory usage, operating system name and version
Get and set device clipboard contents
Windows Mobile tests can be recorded or created from scratch as visual table-like keyword tests or scripts in any of our five supported scripting languages — whatever best suits the tester’s needs and skills. For accurate simulation of handwriting on touch screens and testing graphic-based applications, TestComplete offers low-level coordinate and time-based recording and playback.
Testing Today Screen Items TestComplete provides access to the Today screen plug-ins’ settings on Pocket PC devices so that testers can also verify custom Today items provided by the tested Windows Mobile applications.
Power Tools for Windows Mobile Management TestComplete not only lets you perform automated Windows Mobile testing, it also includes power tools that let you manage the device directly from the TestComplete IDE:
PDA Controller — provides an interactive visual representation of the connected mobile device, allowing you to remotely operate it from your desktop computer and also record interactions for your automated Windows mobile tests.
PDA File Manager — a two-pane file manager that allows you to explore and modify the file system on the handheld device: create new files and folders, copy and move files and folders within the device and between the device and the PC, delete files and folders and other actions.
PDA Registry Editor — allows you to view and modify the device’s registry data.
