Do I pick what devices I want to test on?

Yes. You can work with your CSM to select which devices and operating systems you want to use for each test. You may increase or change these device/OS configurations over time as needed.

Who programs the robots to execute the test?

The Mobot team will convert your test plan into an automated robot test using our internal platform. 

How will I communicate with my dedicated CSM?

The most common communication method is a shared Slack channel, but you can choose whatever is most convenient for you.

How is test data captured?

As the robots execute each test plan, a screenshot and detailed information is captured. This information is reviewed by your CSM, notes are added where needed, and the information is published to the Mobot platform and chosen integrations.

What devices can we test on?

Mobot has over 200 iOS and Android devices available for testing. Speak with your CSM for a full list of the devices and to choose the right device(s) for your tests.

What happens if the robot gets stuck?

A Mobot team member will intervene, diagnose, and resolve the issue so testing can resume.

What is an action?

An action is a tap or swipe on the physical device.

What security and privacy measures are in place?

Apps are installed via standard distribution channels on test devices connecting to customer APIs via secured internal Mobot networks.  Reports and artifacts, like app screenshots, are secured end-to-end. 

Pricing
