Mobile Engine 3.0

Automate tests of mobile applications using Tricentis Tosca Mobile Engine 3.0. Execute TestCases on different mobile platforms, devices, and applications using different types of connection.

Types of platforms

The Mobile Engine 3.0 supports the following mobile platforms:

  • Android

  • iOS

We aim to always support the latest mobile operating system versions. For a complete, validated list of supported operating systems and versions, check out the system requirements.

Types of devices

You can test mobile applications on the following devices:

  • Smartphones

  • Tablets

  • Android emulators

  • iOS simulators

Types of applications

You can test the following types of applications:

  • Native applications, that is applications that are developed for a specific platform or device that can use the built-in features of a mobile operating system.

  • Mobile web applications, that is mobile websites that you open in Chrome for Android or Safari on iOS.

  • Hybrid applications, that is a combination of a native and web application. In a hybrid application the web content is wrapped in a native application.

Additionally, you can execute TestCases on native and hybrid applications developed with the frameworks: Xamarin, Cordova, React Native, and Flutter.

Types of connection

You can test mobile applications using one of the following types of connection:

  • Direct connection: Use Local (TMA) to connect the device to a workstation with Tricentis Tosca using a USB cable, simulator, or emulator.

  • Remote connection: Use Remote (TMA) for the remotely installed Tricentis Mobile Agent to connect to a remote device, emulator, or simulator.

  • Online clouds: Use Cloud (Appium) to access the device, emulator, or simulator that uses any Appium-based cloud service.

  • Tricentis Device Cloud: Use TDC to connect to the Tricentis Device Cloud.
