Exposing method related data calls during testing in an event driven, multichannel architecture

A system for testing applications, comprising:

• a test server comprising a test control is adapted to:
• record a test case of a mobile application;
• remotely control running the test case on a mobile device;
• receive information about execution of the mobile application during the test case on the mobile device;
• compare the information to an expected result;
• and
• display an output based on the comparing.

A computer system for testing an application, the system comprising:

• a CPU, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage media;
• program instructions to communicate with an agent loaded on a mobile device to remotely control running a test case of the application on the mobile device;
• program instructions to receive, from the agent loaded on the mobile device, information associated with a function called by the application during the test case on the mobile device, wherein the information comprises a name of the function, an input to the function, and a return of the function based on the input;
• and
• program instructions to display the information and a screenshot of the mobile device associated with the function,
• wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory;
• and
• the receiving and the displaying are performed at a test server that is separate from the mobile device.
