You can change your tested application’s parameters not only in the TestedApps editor, but also from tests.

Changing Android Application Parameters

You can access parameters of a tested Android application directly via the TestedApp.AndroidAppName object.

The sample code below demonstrates how to add a new Android application to the list of tested applications, specify the application’s properties and run the application.

JavaScript, JScript

function AddAndroidApplication()
{

  // Sets the current device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("MyDevice");

  // Adds the Android application from the package and obtains its index in the list of tested applications
  var ind = TestedApps.AddAndroidApp("C:\\Android\\apks\\SampleApp.apk");

  // Obtains the added tested application by its index and specifies its properties
  var AndroidTestedApp = TestedApps.Items(ind);
  AndroidTestedApp.DeployOnStart = true;
  AndroidTestedApp.Launch = true;
  AndroidTestedApp.GrantPermissions = true;
  AndroidTestedApp.KeepDataAndCache = false;

  // Checks if the applications is instrumented
  if (!AndroidTestedApp.Instrumented)
  {
    // Sets up custom certificate parameters
    AndroidTestedApp.UseCustomCertificate = true;
    AndroidTestedApp.KeystorePath = "C:\\Android\\Keystore";
    AndroidTestedApp.KeystorePassword = "KstrPass";
    AndroidTestedApp.Alias = "KeyAlias";
    AndroidTestedApp.KeyPassword = "KeyPass";
  }

  // Checks if TestComplete can work with the instrumented application
  if (AndroidTestedApp.InstrumentedWithSupportedVersion)
  {
    // Launches the application
    AndroidTestedApp.Run();
  }
  else
  {
    // Posts an error to the log
    Log.Error("Please use uninstrumented application or application instrumented for the current TestComplete version");
  }
}

Python

def AddAndroidApplication():
  # Sets the current device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("MyDevice")

  # Adds the Android application from the package and obtains its index in the list of tested applications
  ind = TestedApps.AddAndroidApp("C:\\Android\\apks\\SampleApp.apk")

  # Obtains the added tested application by its index and specifies its properties
  AndroidTestedApp = TestedApps.Items[ind]
  AndroidTestedApp.DeployOnStart = True
  AndroidTestedApp.Launch = True
  AndroidTestedApp.GrantPermissions = True
  AndroidTestedApp.KeepDataAndCache = False

  if (not AndroidTestedApp.Instrumented):
    # Sets up custom certificate parameters
    AndroidTestedApp.UseCustomCertificate = True
    AndroidTestedApp.KeystorePath = "C:\\Android\\Keystore"
    AndroidTestedApp.KeystorePassword = "KstrPass"
    AndroidTestedApp.Alias = "KeyAlias"
    AndroidTestedApp.KeyPassword = "KeyPass"

  # Checks if TestComplete can work with the instrumented application

    AndroidTestedApp.Run()
  else:
   # Posts an error to the log
   Log.Error("Please use uninstrumented application or application instrumented for the current TestComplete version")

  End If

    AndroidTestedApp.Run()
  Else
    ' Posts an error to the log
    Log.Error("Please use uninstrumented application or application instrumented for the current TestComplete version")
  End If
End Sub

DelphiScript

C++Script, C#Script

Changing iOS Application Parameters

You can access parameters of a tested iOS application directly via the TestedApp.iOSAppName object.

The sample code below demonstrates how to add a new iOS application to the list of tested applications, specify the application’s properties and run the application.

JavaScript, JScript

function AddiOSApplication()
{

  // Sets the current device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("MyDevice");

  // Adds the iOS application from the package and obtains its index in the list of tested applications
  var ind = TestedApps.AddiOSApp("C:\\iOS\\ipas\\SampleApp.ipa");

  // Obtains the added tested application by its index and specifies its properties
  var iOSTestedApp = TestedApps.Items(ind);
  iOSTestedApp.DeployOnStart = true;
  iOSTestedApp.Launch = true;

  // Checks if the applications is instrumented
  if (!iOSTestedApp.Instrumented)
  {
    // Sets up backup parameters
    iOSTestedApp.BackupOriginalIPA = true;
    iOSTestedApp.BackupFileName = "C:\\iOS\\ipas\\SampleApp_ORIGINAL_BACKUP.ipa";
    // Sets up paths to certificate files
    iOSTestedApp.AppleWWDRCAPath = "C:\\iOS\\AppleWWDRCA.cer";
    iOSTestedApp.DeveloperCertPath = "C:\\iOS\\Certificates.cer";
    iOSTestedApp.DeveloperPemPath = "C:\\iOS\\Certificates.pem";
    iOSTestedApp.ProvisioningPath = "C:\\iOS\\iOS_Provisioning_Profile.mobileprovision";
    iOSTestedApp.Instrument();
  }

  // Checks if TestComplete can work with the instrumented application
  if (iOSTestedApp.InstrumentedWithSupportedVersion)
  {
    // Launches the application
    iOSTestedApp.Run();
  }
  else
  {
    // Posts an error to the log
    Log.Error("Please use uninstrumented application or application instrumented for the current TestComplete version");
  }
