Testim Mobile: Faster and higher quality for all mobile apps

With this latest update to Testim Mobile, we introduce unmatched test automation support across custom mobile applications not possible with other solutions. With proprietary technology available nowhere else, Testim Mobile authors tests that are more stable for cross-platform frameworks, like Flutter and React Native, and hybrid applications with embedded web views. Testim Mobile provides product development teams a complete AI-powered test automation solution, entirely in the cloud.

The need for better mobile testing

The use of mobile applications has exploded and is only growing. Using apps on phones in many cases has become the primary way many customers interact with a business. Whether checking in for a flight, banking, ordering a rideshare, or shopping, we rely on mobile for much of what we do. Along with this growth in importance, user expectations have similarly increased. With many options, mobile users will abandon an app for a different solution if it is buggy or slow. Given this reality, ensuring mobile quality should be a top concern for all organizations regardless of industry.

The problem is that the approaches being used to test mobile applications haven’t kept up with mobile technology state of the art. Modern development approaches, such as cross-platform frameworks like Flutter and React Native, allow application developers to build and maintain applications once for both iOS and Android. These approaches greatly reduce time, effort, and costs of application development and create a consistent user experience regardless of their device.

Unfortunately, test automation approaches like Appium often result in tests that are flakey or may not even work at all. Many turn to manual testing to achieve application quality, but it simply doesn’t scale, cannot be automated, and doesn’t provide an easy means to measure coverage and quality. Organizations need a solution that provides reliable, scalable testing for all mobile applications, including native, hybrid, and those built using cross-platform frameworks. That solution is Testim Mobile.

Introducing a new Testim Mobile

We are pleased to introduce the latest update to Testim Mobile, bringing greater ability to automate the testing of custom mobile applications. With Testim Mobile, development teams can test what was previously not possible with Appium or other mobile test automation solutions.

As part of this release, we are introducing Testim Mobile Enhanced Mode, making it possible to automate the testing of new classes of mobile applications. Using Enhanced Mode, you can now record reliable tests for cross-platform applications developed with the React Native and Flutter frameworks. Enhanced Mode also provides test automation support for hybrid applications that include embedded web views. Once authored with Enhanced Mode, tests then may be seamlessly executed on our built-in, cloud-based Virtual Mobile Grid.

With the addition of Enhanced Mode, organizations gain the flexibility to develop hybrid and cross-platform mobile applications while achieving greater testing efficiency and quality. Authoring and executing tests are faster, more stable, and simply just works. You save the time spent maintaining, debugging, and fixing flakey tests that would regularly break. What was previously not possible with existing solutions like Appium is now fast and easy with Testim Mobile.

Proven technology for better results

What makes Testim Mobile different from other testing approaches or available solutions? Enhanced Mode builds upon proven, proprietary technologies only available in Testim Mobile. Using these technologies, Testim Mobile can learn more about the internal structure of the application to gain a deeper understanding. Along with custom drivers and support for application technology, you can create tests that are stable, work for more types of applications, and provide better tests than with any other test automation solution.

Compete mobile testing platform in the cloud

Testim Mobile brings together all the components needed for a complete mobile test automation solution.

• Test authoring and execution: Testim seamlessly connects low-code test authoring with execution in the cloud using its Virtual Mobile Grid. Test across a range of iOS and Android devices for better coverage for more configurations for greater coverage and to fix bugs earlier to prevent issues in production.
• Support for all mobile app types: Whether your app is native, hybrid, or built with a cross-platform framework, Testim Mobile handles it. Our new Enhanced Mode makes it possible to automate testing of Flutter and React Native apps and hybrid apps, faster and easier on our Virtual Mobile Grid. Also, as always, test native applications using a grid or locally with virtual or physical devices.
• Test entirely in the cloud: Simply load your application into Testim Mobile and start testing in the cloud without complex installation or configuration. Getting started with testing your mobile applications is easy and fast.
• Unmatched stability: Locate elements that other solutions cannot see for stability that keeps tests working even as applications change. Our proven, proprietary solution allows you to test applications previously not possible for better application quality and user experience.
