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.

      If you do not have a BitBar account, you can sign up for a free trial on the BitBar website:

      To access the cloud from TestComplete tests, use the API key assigned to your BitBar account. See the Prerequisites section.

    • A private server managed by the Appium framework. It can run on your current computer or on a remote computer in your local network. The supported Appium version is 1.18.2.

Adding the application

  1. In the Mobile application file text box, enter the path to the application file. For Android, it must be an .apk file. For iOS, it must be an .ipa file.
