Addressing Phones¶

In order to assign phones to a test case, they must first be installed and configured.

Note: Information on how to prepare phones for use with intaQt can be found in the Device Installation and the intaQt Mobile App section.

Phone Assignment¶

Phones should be assigned at the start, thus before running a test case. Specific phones can be addressed, or they can be chosen randomly. If a specific phone is not addressed, intaQt will randomly select a free phone from all available phones (both local and remote).

Note: Information about allocating multiple phones can be found in the Addressing Phones - Compound Step section.

Random Selection ¶

Syntax

1	a[n] <phoneType Identifier> phone as <name Identifier>

Parameters

phoneType - Can be one of Android, Snom or iOS
- iOS Phones may only be used with Mac OS computers that have Xcode installed
- They can only be used for Apptests
name - The name assigned to the phone

Example

1 2	Given an Android phone as A And a Snom phone as B

Addressing Specific Phones ¶

Specific phones (local, remote or Snom) may be addressed by defining additional criteria after declaring the phone type.

Note: If intaQt is running, a full list of available properties can be accessed by default at localhost:8080/phones. Further information about the port configuration can be obtained in the HTTP section.

Syntax

1 2	a[n] <phoneType Identifier> phone as <name Identifier> where <criterion Expression> <operator Operator> <value String>

Parameters

phoneType - The device (such as Android, Snom or S5) that is being addressed
name - The name assigned to the phone
criterion - The criterion that the phone selection is based on, which is an expression
- For example, phone properties (such as phone number, MSISDN or serial number) or subscriber properties
operator - A Comparison Operator or Logical operator used to compare the criterion against its value
- For example == for equal or != for not equal
value - The selection criterion, such as the assigned phone's telephone number or network operator

Example

Given an Android phone as A where number == "+431234567"
  And an Android phone as B where nop == "o2"
  And an Android phone as C where number == "+432222222" && nop == "tele2"
  And an Android phone as D where tariff == ${tariffUnderTest}

In the example above:

number, nop and tariff are criteria
==is a comparison operator
&& is a logical operator
The number (assigned to phone A and C) or network operator ( assigned to phones B and C) are the values
