Android UI Journey Testing

\n

Overview

\n

This skill outlines the standard workflow for running XML-specified User Journey tests on Android applications. A \"journey\" is a sequenced set of user actions and state assertions designed to verify end-to-end functionality. The journey XML acts as the source of truth for the app's behavior. The executor proceeds sequentially, performing UI interactions, checking state assertions, and writing a standardized JSON outcome report.

\n

When to Use

\n\n

How It Works

\n
graph TD\n    A[Parse Journey XML] --> B[Execute Action / Interaction]\n    B --> C{Success?}\n    C -- Yes --> D[Verify State Expectation / Assertion]\n    C -- No/Crash --> G[Mark FAILED & Exit]\n    D -- Passed --> E{More Steps?}\n    D -- Failed --> G\n    E -- Yes --> B\n    E -- No --> F[Output JSON Summary]\n
\n

Step 1: Parse the Journey Specification

\n

Read and parse the XML test suite structure. The root node <journey> defines the test case name, and the <actions> block contains the sequence of test steps.

\n
<journey name=\"Search and Cart Flow\">\n   <description>Verify that searching for an item and adding it to the cart succeeds.</description>\n   <actions>\n      <action>Search for soda</action>\n      <action>Tap the first search result</action>\n      <action>Verify that the product detail screen is shown</action>\n   </actions>\n</journey>\n
\n

Step 2: Sequential Step Evaluation

\n

Process each <action> element in the exact order specified. Test steps are classified into two groups:

\n

A. Interactive Actions (Taps, Swipes, Text Input)

\n

Perform the physical UI interaction using ADB.

\n\n

If the element is missing or the action cannot be performed, the action and the journey fail.

\n

B. State Assertions (Expectation Verification)

\n

Steps beginning with \"verify\", \"check\", or \"ensure\" represent state assertions.

\n\n

Step 3: Handle Failures and Crashes

\n

If the application crashes, exits, freezes, or fails an assertion:

\n
    \n
  1. Immediately stop journey execution.
    2. \n
  2. Mark the failed step as FAILED.
    3. \n
  3. Mark any subsequent steps as SKIPPED.
    4. \n
  4. Document the exact reason for failure.
    5. \n
\n

Step 4: Generate JSON Report

\n

Format the execution results into a standardized JSON schema and write it to the output log.

Examples

\n

Example 1: Full Journey XML Specification

\n
<journey name=\"Login and Profile Edit\">\n   <description>Logs into the app, navigates to settings, and changes user profile information.</description>\n   <actions>\n      <action>Verify that the username input field is visible</action>\n      <action>Tap the username input field</action>\n      <action>Type \"testuser\" into the input</action>\n      <action>Tap the password input field</action>\n      <action>Type a redacted test password into the input</action>\n      <action>Tap the \"Login\" button</action>\n      <action>Verify that the Home dashboard is visible and user profile photo is shown</action>\n   </actions>\n</journey>\n
\n

Example 2: Standard JSON Outcome Report

\n
{\n  \"journey\": \"Login and Profile Edit\",\n  \"results\": [\n    {\n      \"action\": \"Verify that the username input field is visible\",\n      \"status\": \"PASSED\",\n      \"commands\": [],\n      \"comment\": \"Username input detected at bounds [100,200][980,300] via UI dump.\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"action\": \"Tap the username input field\",\n      \"status\": \"PASSED\",\n      \"commands\": [\n        \"adb shell input tap 540 250\"\n      ],\n      \"comment\": \"Tapped center coordinates of username input.\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"action\": \"Type \\\"testuser\\\" into the input\",\n      \"status\": \"PASSED\",\n      \"commands\": [\n        \"adb shell input text \\\"testuser\\\"\"\n      ],\n      \"comment\": \"Username typed successfully.\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"action\": \"Tap the password input field\",\n      \"status\": \"PASSED\",\n      \"commands\": [\n        \"adb shell input tap 540 370\"\n      ],\n      \"comment\": \"Tapped center of password input.\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"action\": \"Type a redacted test password into the input\",\n      \"status\": \"PASSED\",\n      \"commands\": [\n        \"adb shell input text \\\"[REDACTED_PASSWORD]\\\"\"\n      ],\n      \"comment\": \"Password typed successfully. The actual input value was not stored in the report.\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"action\": \"Tap the \\\"Login\\\" button\",\n      \"status\": \"PASSED\",\n      \"commands\": [\n        \"adb shell input tap 540 500\"\n      ],\n      \"comment\": \"Login button clicked.\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"action\": \"Verify that the Home dashboard is visible and user profile photo is shown\",\n      \"status\": \"FAILED\",\n      \"commands\": [],\n      \"comment\": \"Dashboard loaded but profile photo was missing from the UI header.\"\n    }\n  ]\n}\n
