AWS has a 'remote-desktopy' feature (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-device-farm-update-remote-access-to-devices-for-interactive-testing/) as part of its device farm, but it is far too slow to use in browser. Does anyone know if there is a programmatic/CLI way to interact with that system?
I would like to test the functionality of a third party app on a cloud based mobile testing platform such as Firebase Test Lab, or AWS device farm. I have no way to instrument this app. The testing requires I download two apps on the device (one is the app to be tested, the second has a supporting function). At the start of the test I have to launch the support app, and then switch over to the app I am testing. I imagine the only way to do this is via the device's 'home' button. The actual testing is just a set of basic UI interactions.
Does the Firebase Test lab or other platform have a feature that I could use to do this?
If there was a way to extract events from the AWS remote-desktop, I could see an approach using a selenium/other webdriver. But I am not sure this a real option.
Any thoughts on this are appreciated.
Thanks!
