Frequently Asked Questions

• Is there a way to write tests with code?
  Yes. See the API Framework section.
• Is there a way to execute tests and see results with a PC or Mac?
  Yes. See here.
• Is there a way to create and edit iOS tests using the desktop Test Studio for Windows?
  No. There are no plans for this.
• Can I write conditional logic and loops in a Test Studio for iOS test?
  Not yet. This feature is on our to-do list.
• How can I add a new step to a test?
  Open an existing test and tap the Record button in the lower left. A browser in recording mode immediately loads for a Web Test. For an iOS Test, select Play and Continue to execute the test steps first, or Just Launch the App to load the app in its current state. Either way you’ll enter recording mode and can add new steps to the end of the test. You can also press the Add (+) button in the upper right of the test step view (while in recording mode) to add an Execution Delay.
• How can I change the order of steps in a test?
  When reviewing a test's steps, click the Edit button in the upper right to enable the drag and drop ability to change the step order.
• If a step fails, can the test continue executing?
  If a step within a test fails, that fails the test. There is no feature yet that translates to Continue on Failure.
• When creating a web test, tapping the variable button in lower right of the keyboard is not properly recorded as a test step. Why not?
  Test Studio cannot control automation of the keyboard during web test playback. Instead, tap the corresponding button in the actual page, like Search or Login.
• Can I back up my projects to a computer?
  Yes. You can back up a SQLite database to your computer through iTunes and transfer it to another device. See here.
• Can I add/extract a saved SQLite database to/from Test Studio in the Simulator?
  Yes. Use this article to find the Simulator folder for Test Studio. Open the Documents folder inside. Here you'll add/extract the saved SQLite database file.
