Why run UI tests on virtual devices? Depending on the set of tests, running UI tests on virtual devices might lead to faster test runs. Virtual devices are created on-demand, and as such, there is essentially no contention for a device resource. Virtual devices are not charged per minute, so using virtual devices is a good compromise in terms of speed, results and cost. |
Setting up default UI tests on virtual devices will apply to all branches.
Start by clicking on App Settings.
In the left navigation, click on Test settings.
Next, locate Run UI tests on virtual devices and click Configure.
Turn on UI tests on virtual devices, then select the variant you would like to run UI tests against.
Lastly, select the virtual devices you want to run UI tests on.
You can also run UI tests on virtual devices for a specific branch by creating a branch-specific override.
Under Override build configuration, click Add a branch and select the branch you would like to run UI tests on virtual devices for.
Select Run UI tests on virtual devices from the dropdown, then click the Configure button.
You can now select the virtual devices you want to run UI tests on for your selected branch.
