Testing Mobile Web Applications on an iOS Simulator

To test a mobile web application on an iOS Simulator, perform the following tasks:
  1. Add the Mac, to which the iOS device is connected, as a remote location to the Windows machine on which Silk Test is installed. For additional information, see Editing Remote Locations.
    Note: At any given point in time, each user on a Mac can only test on one iOS device that is connected to the Mac or on one iOS Simulator that is running on the Mac. To test on multiple iOS devices or iOS Simulators on the same Mac, a user session on the Mac is required for each device and Simulator. For additional information, see Testing Multiple iOS Simulators on the Same Mac .
  2. Create a Silk4NET project for your mobile application.
  3. Create a test for your mobile application.
  4. Record the actions that you want to execute in the test. When you start the Recording window, the Select Application dialog box opens.
  5. To test a mobile web application:
    1. Select the Web tab.
    2. Select the mobile browser that you want to use.
    3. Specify the web page to open in the Enter URL to navigate text box.
  6. Click OK. An iOS device or Simulator must not fall into sleep mode during testing. To turn the screen lock and password off, select Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
  7. When you have recorded all actions, stop recording.
