testardo

testardo

a browser and OS agnostic web driver for mobile and desktop

Please note this software is at a very basic state ... like a beta version 0.0.9 one.

in a nutshell

Bored to death to swipe around in order to be sure device X still work? If so, give testardo a chance!

testardo is the easiest way to test your local projects with some remote service testing capabilities too. You can be notified if something goes wrong, you can change tests at runtime and have an instant update for all running devices, you can forget SDKs, special softwares, drivers, patches and fixes ... you create the test with everything you know and need already with the ability to include libraries and utilities at runtime.

testardo will be instantly useful thanks to its status colors on any device display: green for success, yellow if the server is offline, red when there was an error and with shown error info ... as easy as that!

how to

To use testardo ... all you need is the testardo file. Grab it or simply install it via npm install -g testardo.

The executable will create a testing environment showing the URL to load through your device browser. As long as your Mac/Linux machine is reachable through the same network there's really nothing else to do.

If you want to have an idea of testardo options at launch time, please check the how-to file, or launch ./testardo without arguments in your console.

Example

A very basic example is shown in this file.

Write ./testardo --host=google.com --loop=0 examples/google-search.js and connect to the full url shown in the terminal. This will look something like: en1: http://192.168.1.146:7357/$ where the full url to connect to will be http://192.168.1.146:7357/$

compatibility

So far, testardo has been tested with the following Mobile browsers:

• iOS 5.1 and greater
• Android 2.3 and greater
• Firefox OS 1.0 and greater
• Windows Phone 7 and greater
• Blackberry 10
• Kindle Fire Silk
• webOS (the one for the old palm pre, not yet LG TVs)

Above list will change as soon as new devices will be tested.

The list of compatible and tested Desktop browsers:

• Chrome
• Safari

Above list will change as soon as different browsers will be tested.

Ideally old IE browsers should work too (at some point).

why

Selenium is cool but there's no selenium for platforms different from Android and iOS. This makes integration tests extremely painful for all other phones, both newer and older.

testardo would like to simplify one-shot or infinitely repeated integration tests with any browser you would like to test.

TODO

• https and SSL compatibility
• more sandbox shortcuts/utilities
• more Desktop browsers to test
• more Mobile devices too

Any help will be more than appreciated.
