Question 1

How do robots perform testing?

Accepted Answer

Robots can perform gestures like a human, for example: tap, swipe, double tap, pressing buttons etc. with precision. Testing is non-intrusive and guided with robot vision.

Question 2

What is non-intrusive testing?

Accepted Answer

Testing doesn’t require any cables attached between device and computer.

Question 3

What is the additional benefit of using robotic testing system comparing it to the software based testing approach?

Accepted Answer

Device being tested can be used as it is, without adding extra software and cables. This setup allows the testing to be as close as real scenarios and is more prone to find software defects shortening the product release lifecycle and saving your costs and effort.

Question 4

How long does it take to setup robotic systems and start testing?

Accepted Answer

1-2 hours maximum to setup, and then testing can be started right away.

Question 5

Can the device (from market shelf) be tested as it is without any additional software and cables?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is no special arrangement needed for the device in terms of software or hardware. Device can be tested as it is even using the production hardware variant or production software.

Question 6

Can robot test iOS device and apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, robot testing is independent of device OS and size.

Question 7

Do I need to root or jailbreak iOS, Android device?

Accepted Answer

No

Question 8

How about devices with Android, QT, Windows and other variants?

Accepted Answer

Yes, any devices with any operating system.

Question 9

Can robots be used for device farm testing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each robot unit can host multiple devices depending on size. Several robot units can be deployed to perform testing in harmony.

Question 10

What is the weight of a standard robot unit?

Accepted Answer

5-9 kg

Question 11

What are the dimensions of a robot unit?

Accepted Answer

Customizable as per need. Standard dimensions: length: 45 cm, breadth: 30cm, height: 40 cm

Question 12

My tests are running on Mac OS, can I integrate robots as it is?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Robots have software distributions for all the major platforms: Mac OS, Linux and Windows.

Question 13

Can I use Raspberry PI to control robots?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Question 14

Can robots be added to Continuous Integration, such as Jenkins, Team city, CircleCI?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Question 15

Our legacy test environments are running with Robot Framework, can robotic system be integrated as it is?

Accepted Answer

Robotic system comes with default support to Robot Framework. Sample tests written in Robot Framework are included in Robotic System software package.

Question 16

I am a developer, how could I utilize robots on development projects?

Accepted Answer

Robotic system provides a standard software interface, which can be accessed from several low-level and high-level programming languages.

Question 17

Do we need to have special premises / lab environment for utilizing the robot system?

Accepted Answer

No. Robotic system is portable and silent, such that it can be used in any open office.
