Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are presented for multi-platform testing automation. A method includes electrically triggering, with a rotate command, at least one mechanical actuator to rotate a frame to successively present different faces of the frame to a camera of a mobile hardware device. A method includes simulating one or more touch input events on a mobile hardware device for each successively presented different face of a frame. A method includes receiving data associated with simulated one or more touch input events and a camera of a mobile hardware device from the mobile hardware device over a data network. Received data includes a hierarchical scene tree having a plurality of nodes associated with objects displayed on a screen of at least one of the mobile hardware devices. A method includes dynamically altering a parameter of one or more nodes based on user input.

Claims20

Dependent claims

An apparatus comprising:

at least one mechanical actuator;
and
one or more hardware server devices in communication with the at least one mechanical actuator and with an array of mobile hardware devices over a data network, the at least one mechanical actuator providing non-digital physical interaction to at least one of the mobile hardware devices, the one or more hardware server devices configured to:
simulate one or more touch input events on the mobile hardware devices over the data network;
and
receive data associated with the simulated one or more touch input events and the non-digital physical interaction from the mobile hardware devices over the data network, the received data comprising a hierarchical scene tree having a plurality of nodes associated with objects displayed on a screen of at least one of the mobile hardware devices and the one or more hardware server devices are configured to dynamically alter a parameter of one or more of the plurality of nodes on the at least one of the mobile hardware devices over the data network based on user input in real time during execution of an application associated with the hierarchical scene tree on the at least one of the mobile hardware devices.
