Chapter 5. Mobile Test Automation and Tools

This chapter is all about tools. I describe the different types and concepts of mobile test automation tools and give you some advice on where to automate and how to select a mobile test automation tool for your app and development environment. I also explain continuous integration and beta distribution tools.

This chapter doesn’t cover how to install and configure the different mobile test automation tools. The reason for this is simple: The tools provide installation and configuration guides already, so you can just visit their Web sites to find all the information you need. Details about each tool will be provided in the relevant sections of this chapter.
