Configuring the mobile test client for Android
To use an Android mobile device for
recording or running tests, you must configure the mobile test client to connect to the test workbench.
Before you begin
The mobile test client must be installed and running on the Android device. For details about downloading and installing the mobile test client for Android, see Installing the Android client manually.
The mobile device must be able to establish a connection to the computer where the test workbench is running. You can use a wifi connection, a cellular data connection, or in v8.7 and later, a USB connection. For more details about establishing a USB connection, see Installing and configuring the Android client with the USB Controller
Note: If
you already have the workbench URL and the QR code up on your screen
from when you installed the mobile test client, you can skip
the first two steps and proceed to Step 3.

- In the Test Navigator view, right-click
the Mobile Devices node and select Available Mobile Devices or
click the Display available mobile devices
icon. The Mobile Devices editor
opens. - In the editor, click the
icon to add a device to the list. A window
displays a list of workbench URLs and a QR code that contains the
selected URL from the list.Note: If the device fails to connect using the first URL in the list, try an alternate URL.
