Installing instrumented iOS applications from the test workbench

One way to install an instrumented iOS application on an iOS device is to use the Mobile and Web UI Applications editor in the test workbench. This task applies to people who have the instrumented app installed in the test workbench but might not have access to the Xcode project that contains the application source code.

Before you begin

See Installing instrumented iOS applications for the full list of prerequisites. For a video tutorial that includes a demo of how to install an instrumented iOS app using the test workbench UI, see Instrumenting and Installing iOS apps in IBM® Rational® Test Workbench v8.6.

Procedure

  1. Verify that Apple iTunes is installed on a Macintosh or Windows computer. iTunes is included by default on Macintosh computers but must be downloaded and installed manually on Windows computers.
  2. Attach one or more iOS devices running iOS 7 or newer to the USB ports on a Windows or Macintosh computer.
  3. Verify that an instrumented version of the application under test (AUT) has been installed in the test workbench. For details about adding the AUT to the test workbench during the instrumentation process, see Instrumenting iOS applications. For details about importing the instrumented AUT to the test workbench, see Importing applications to test in the workbench.
  4. From the Mobile and Web UI Applications editor in the test workbench, right-click the app and click Install application on iOS device, or select the application and click the Install application on iOS device icon Install application on iOS device.
  5. From the iOS Device window, select the desired device and click OK.

Results

The app is installed on the device. After you complete these steps, you can start recording a test. For details, see Creating mobile tests.
