Abstract

Android mobile testing requires lot of test cases to be executed. Test automation is essential to execute huge volume of test cases. In this paper, a test automation framework is discussed, which helps test engineers to write scripts and then execute these scripts from PC. The scripts are portable and support cross platform, running on Windows and Linux platforms seamlessly with minimal changes.
