Mobile Application Automation
Mobile Application Automation
Hi,
I would like to know if any one of you have any information about automating Windows mobile application? The aim is to run the automation tests on the device.

I'm not sure what you are asking? Can you expand on your question?
- I wanted to know is there a tool or procedure to do functional automation on the applications which are deployed over a handset.
Something like what we do on the Web application (Functional automation using some of the tools like SAHI or Winrunner etc... which eventually used for Regression Testing)
In this case for example: I would like to test couple of SMS Compose scenarios, instead of doing it manually I want to automate it so that it runs a script/ set of instructions which will verify this scenario.
Please let me know in this regard.
thanks, I understand now. Thanks for adding the extra post.
I'm not a programmer so I don't know for sure. I would suggest you head over to the MSDN forums and ask that question in the mobile device area. Since it is a "developer" network there, my guess is you will get an answer quicker.
- hi, i dont think there is such a regression tool for mobile, but the thing u are trying ask is purly a dvelopers job who can write an applicaiton for doing thing like
- Have a look at MortScript !
MortScript interprets a (quite) simple batch language. If you know .bat files in DOS or shell scripts: it's something like that. Its focus is to remote control or launch other applications, not to write real applications. I.e., you can't do complex dialogs or graphics with it.

When using the *.zip file run it once. This way both extentions *.mscr and *.mortrun get their registry entry.

The first thing I did when I installed this piece of marvelous software was creating two text files and later renamed them to *.mscr;
One containing; Rotate(270)
This gives me Landscape mode.
The other containing; Rotate(0)
This gives me Portrait mode.

What is SASHIMI?
SASHIMI is first and foremost an installer. Its main function is to install CAB, .REG., .XML, .EXE, and .MSCR files that can be used when setting up your device. It can be run in Manual Mode, Automated Mode, or in Manual+Auto mode. SASHIMI can also perform backups of your important files and registry entries and allow for easy restore during installation.
SASHIMI, like all great things, is RAW! RAW, like sushi, sashimi means "uncooked". A RAW installer is most suitable for use on uncooked, stock, or lite ROMs. It helps users who would prefer to install all of their own apps an easy semi-automated way to do it. Of course it can be be used on cooked ROMs too, we sushi chefs like to share! Arigato! SASHIMI builds on the feature set of it's predecessors and the VIP+bengalih RAW Auto Installer, but with more wasabi-infused features!
