BREAKING NEWS!
Unveiled at the Apple WWDC on 10th June, iOS7 broke the expectations
of many with a very different design compared to the previous
versions of iOS. The iOS7 has adopted a cleaner and streamlined
approach, making the OS flatter and getting rid of the skeuomorphic
designs; hence bringing the audience a more modern OS.
Jamo Solutions M-eux Test supports iOS7. It will be able to perform
regression testing with ease by re-using test scripts made on iOS
6.x. In comparison to bitmap or OCR-based tools which cannot reuse
the iOS6 based automation scripts without a big review of those
scripts, M-eux test will allow Quality Assurance to run their test
cases smoothly while keeping the maintenance costs low.
As you can see from the above picture of the Switch, the look and
feel of the iOS7 UI has changed drastically. It may pose difficulties
for those using bitmap or OCR-based technology.
Some examples are as follows:
- Bitmap-based
tool: Update required of all images from iOS6 to iOS7, making a
larger object repository as more images are needed.
- OCR-based
(text recognition) tool: The "ON" text of the button
in iOS6 is no longer in iOS7. Hence users of this solution would
have to convert using a bitmap-based solution. Meaning the
hassle of creating a new object repository as well as updating
the correct verification points in test cases. In addition, two
separate test cases would have to be maintained for one scenario
in each of the platforms in iOS6 and iOS7.
- Bitmap
& OCR-based tools cannot perform regression testing with the
existing code that was used in iOS6.
