Running the same test on two devices

[kieranwood]

Hi all,

I was wondering if it should be possible to record a test on a iPhone and then play the recording back on an iPad, changing the device at the start of the test case (from the drop down).

The same app is installed on both devices and each device is played to separately.

I have installed the same app on both devices and recorded on an iPhone and played back on the iPad but it fails because a menu appears to be different, when in fact they are the same.

Hi,

It surely is possible to run the same test on multiple devices. The best is to use data-driven approach. Take a look at this post:

Hi there,

I have done this by manually changing the device at the top of the script and it is failing.

I am using the Keypass app and the menu for adding a new Group or Entry is being detected differently between the iPhone recording and the iPad playback.

OK, so you are dealing with the problem where the xpaths are different between the devices (iPhone/iPad). In this case, you will have to find/optimize the paths to make them recognizable on both devices. It's quite similar to testing webs with different web browsers. There is unfortunately no other (automatic) way than to optimize the paths to make them working on both devices.
