In your functional tests on mobile terminals you will sometimes need to automate atypical actions particularly related to the OS.
For this we have integrated the following native functions:
- Back : Back on the last action
- Home : Displays the "desktop" of the mobile terminal
- Menu : Access to the functions of the mobile terminal office
- Search : Launches a google search on the mobile terminal
- Delete : Delete the last character entered
- App : Displays the list of recently launched applications on the mobile terminal
To add these actions, proceed as follows:
- Select "Application root"
- Select "System button"
- Select the correct system action for your test
