Device description properties

The Device test object supports the description properties listed in the table below.

Object description properties can be used in the object repository description, in programmatic descriptions, in checkpoint and output value steps, and as argument values for the GetTOProperty and GetROProperty methods.

Using the GetROProperty and CheckProperty methods, you can retrieve and/or check only the values of the following properties in the application during a run session. You can also use these properties with the WaitProperty, Check, and Output methods.

Property Name

Description

extraAppsThe applications to use for the test run (when multiple applications are selected in the test's Record and Run settings).
fleetType

The fleet type of the device.

Note: This property is relevant when the source property's value is AWS and HOSTED.

Possible values:

  • any. (Default) Any of the following devices.
  • public. A public device stored on an AWS device farm or hosted by OpenText.
  • private. A private device stored on an AWS device farm or hosted by OpenText.
id

The unique device ID that identifies the device.

When learning a Device object, OpenText Functional Testing creates a test object without this property to avoid binding the test object to a specific device.

If you plan to test multiple devices in the same test, make sure to add the id property to the list of mandatory properties. This ensures that when OpenText Functional Testing learns the objects, it adds the objects under the correct Device test object in the object repository.

By default, during a run session, OpenText Functional Testing uses the device ID of the device specified in the Mobile Record and Run settings for the test. If the Device test object contains an ID description property, OpenText Functional Testing uses the identified device instead.

You can also add this property to the test object description manually, in which case, OpenText Functional Testing uses the device specified in the test object.

location

The geographic location of the device. Relevant only if the fleetType property's value is public and the source property's value is HOSTED.

Possible values:

  • any. Any geographic location.

  • A string representing the region the device is located in. Example: SHANGHAI if the device is from Shanghai. This value is retrieved from Digital Lab.

manufacturer

The manufacturer of the device.

model

The model name of the device.

Device model values are identical to device names listed in the Device section in the Digital Lab Wizard.

ostype

  • DL. The device is stored on Digital Lab. (Default)

    Note:  

    • The value UFTM is supported as well, to support tests created in previous versions.

    • The value MC is supported as well, to support tests created in previous versions.

  • AWS. The device is provided by an AWS device farm.

  • HOSTED. The device is hosted by OpenText.
