In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the process of recording tests for your game in AltTester® Desktop, using BrowserStack cloud devices.
AltTester Desktop & Recorder
AltTester® Desktop is an application that allows games to be explored and inspected outside of the Unity Editor, on the platform the game was built for. This approach is very similar to the Appium Inspector or to the DOM Inspector of a web browser.
The Recorder is a functionality we integrated in the AltTester® Desktop tool to support the testing process, by generating automated scripts faster. How does this actually work?
- It records the actions taken on the screenshot area (select, click, press key)
- You can see the code displayed based on the recorder actions (the clicked objects will be identified using full path)
- It asserts properties to certain values
- Once the code is generated, you can copy it to your test file, edit and run it.
In short about BrowserStack
BrowserStack serves as a cloud-based testing platform, enabling developers and testers to run automated testing for mobile applications across an extensive range of authentic devices.
