Systems, methods, and apparatuses for testing mobile device applications

A system for testing one or more software applications on a plurality of devices, comprising:

• a server operatively connected to a plurality of devices and to one or more user machines associated with one or more users desirous of testing one or more software applications on the plurality of devices;
• a database for storing information relating to:
• (a) the one or more software applications, and (b) a common object model that maps platform-specific objects associated with particular software applications and particular operating platforms to platform-agnostic objects;
• and
• a processor operatively coupled to the server and the database, wherein the processor is operatively configured to:
• receive a request from a specific user machine for testing a particular software application installed on a particular device of the plurality of devices;
• retrieve device information from a device agent running on the particular device, wherein the device information includes an object inventory of platform-specific objects associated with the particular software application and a particular operating platform of the particular device;
• retrieve the common object model from the database;
• receive a platform-agnostic functional application testing command from the specific user machine for testing the particular software application on the particular device, the platform-agnostic functional application testing command comprising at least one object and a testing action;
• determine, from the common object model, a platform-specific object associated with the particular software application corresponding to the at least one object defined in the platform-agnostic functional application testing command;
• and
• generate and transmit a platform-specific functional application testing command to the device agent for testing the particular software application on the particular operating platform of the particular device, wherein the platform-specific functional application testing command is translated from an automated platform-agnostic testing command received based on the object inventory of the plurality of platform-specific objects, at least one of the plurality of platform-specific objects corresponding to the at least one application function, and based on a single testing command of a plurality of testing commands that represent a particular functionality of the mobile software application to be executed on at least one object of the plurality of objects.
