The Add Tested Application wizard assists you in adding applications to the Tested Applications collection of your project. On this page of the wizard, you add an Android application (.apk) or an iOS application (.ipa) to the list of tested applications to upload them to the BitBar mobile device cloud or to a mobile device managed by a local Appium server.

  • The Appium Support plugin must be enabled in TestComplete. You can check the plugin state in the File > Install Extensions dialog in TestComplete. You can find the plugin in the Mobile group.

  • Access to the server that manages your mobile devices. It can be one of the following:

    • A mobile device cloud provided as a service by BitBar.
