3. Define a Tested Application

Applies to TestComplete 15.62, last modified on March 19, 2024

To create a test for an application running on a mobile device, you need to deliver the application to the device.

If you use BitBar as your mobile device cloud provider, upload the application file (Orders.apk in our case) to your account file library. The easiest way to upload the file from TestComplete is to add it to your TestComplete project, for example, when you start test recording:

  1. The wizard shows the second page where you can choose your tested application:

    Getting Started with TestComplete: Select your tested application

    Click the image to enlarge it.

  2. The tested Orders application is an Android application shipped as a .apk file, it falls under the Mobile application category.

    Click Mobile.

  3. In the Mobile application file text box, click the ellipsis button. In the resulting Select Tested Application dialog, locate the Orders.apk file.

    Leave the Reupload the tested application to BitBar when connecting to a device, if needed check box selected by default.

  4. If you already have a BitBar account, enter the API Key assigned to your account in the BitBar API Key text box.
