selendroid

Selendroid can be used on emulators and real devices and can be integrated as a node into the Selenium Grid for scaling and parallel testing.

Selendroid is based on the Android instrumentation framework, so only testing one specific app is supported. Like Selenium we offer as well a selendroid standalone jar.

1. Selendroid is tested to run on Mac and Linux.
2. Java sdk (minimum 1.6) is installed and JAVA_HOME is configured
3. Latest Android-Sdk is installed and ANDROID_HOME is set.
4. At least one Android virtual device must be existent or an Android hardware device must be plugged in to the computer.

Selendroid can be used to test already built apps. Those Android apps (apk file) must exists on the machine, where the selendroid server will be started. The reason for this is that a customized selendroid-server for the app under test will be created and both apps (selendroid server and AUT) must be signed with the same certificate in order to be able to install the apks on the device.
