Tool Information

Introduction

Tool Summary

NativeDriver offers test automation for Android and iOS native applications. It implements the WebDriver API. Google has created NativeDriver, an implementation of the WebDriver API, a test automation framework that uses the native UI instead of a browser UI, as Selenium does, to run functional tests on an application. Google has decided to reuse the WebDriver API for native applications instead of creating a new one due to many similarities between them - they both control the same UI operations such as click, type, read text, switch window-, and users familiar with WebDriver do not need to learn another API and can start using NativeDriver immediately. 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

Features

Can be used to perform automated UI commands in a native application
On Android, NativeDriver uses Instrumentation, a mechanism for programmatically controlling various OS components
User interactions with a native application and a web application are essentially the same: click, type, switch window, read text
Test writers will have to write the same test for each platform they want to support
does not require to learn yet another API
WebDriver already has a user base and a tool ecosystem that can migrate easily to a new API if it is WebDriver-like
Re-uses your favorite UI testing API
Beside this test framework for mobile OSes, Google made available the WebDriver for mobile browsers, which offers testing support for web applications running in a browser on Android, iOS, and there is project started for Blackberry.
Currently only the Android version is available, but Google promises to release an iOS version soon. Also, a Windows version is in a prototype phase.

Code Sample:

An example of a simple NativeDriver test looks like this:

AndroidNativeDriver driver = new AndroidNativeDriverBuilder().withDefaultServer().build();
driver.startActivity("com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity");
// Open the Places activity by clicking the places button (to the right of the search box)
AndroidNativeDriver btn= driver.findElement(By.id("btn_header_places"));
btn.click();
// Dismiss the Places window. Equivalent to pressing the Android Back button
driver.navigate().back();
// Rotate the device to show the UI in landscape mode
driver.rotate(ScreenOrientation.LANDSCAPE);
