Automated testing is essential for developing robust applications. TestSweets has simplified the process of generating automated test cases, but adapting tests to accommodate various screen sizes has been challenging. With TestSweets' new update, developers can now fine-tune automation points for different screen sizes, ensuring tests are precise on all devices. This article proposes three key strategies to leverage the new responsive features of TestSweets to enhance your automated testing suite.
1. Start with an Average Device Size
The first step in the process should be to capture automation points on a device that represents the average screen size, ideally 720×1280. This is a strategic starting point because it sits comfortably between small and large screen sizes, which makes subsequent adjustments easier. Capturing on an average device aids the responsive sizing calculations that TestSweets uses, allowing for a seamless transition when including devices with smaller or larger screens.
2. Make Adjustments on the Extreme Screen Sizes
After the initial setup on an average device, it is crucial to test the application on the smallest and largest devices you intend to support. Doing this allows you to observe how the automation points align with the desired widgets on different screens. You might notice significant shifts on larger devices compared to medium-sized ones.
To address any misalignment, perform a long tap on the problematic automation point and drag it to the intended position. TestSweets memorizes this new location for the specific screen size, ensuring accurate placement in all future test executions. Moreover, when TestSweets encounters a new screen size that it doesn't have records for, it intelligently picks the closest captured screen size to deduce the correct position for the automation point.
3. Adjust for Different Form Factors
The final recommendation is particularly relevant if your application is intended for diverse platforms like tablets or desktops. Consistency can be achieved by running tests on an average-sized screen and making necessary adjustments based on observed offsets. TestSweets is versatile enough to handle an infinite variety of screen sizes as you refine the position of the automation points, always using the most appropriate one for each test run.
