Functionally Mobile (Automation)

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Declares every mobile app should be tested through automation and shows a working proof of concept: a Cordova employee‑directory app with end‑to‑end Mocha tests that run unchanged on iOS and Android. Uses adminium plus apache cordova (phonegap), topcoat for UI, monocle for generator‑style tests and Sauce Labs for scaling. Emphasizes same test cases on iOS and Android, no instrumentation required, demos native/web context switching and recommends smoke tests and CI integration.
