Overview
The Android faternity had introduced the ability to perform authentication using a fingerprint scanner to enable secure and effortless access to the application. They have also introduced a Image Scanning feature using the camera to scan QR Codes or other documents for OCR testing. But testing these features remotely over the cloud can be a challenge for many Quality Engineering teams.
To ease out the process of testing the authentication and scaning feature of apps, you can now use the instrumentation feature on Pcloudy to make the app test-ready for Biometric Authentication and Image Scanning.
Pre-requisites
- Must have a registered Pcloudy account to login.
- Must have an active Pcloudy plan subscription.
Steps to Instrument Android Apps
- Login to the platform. Click on the "Real Device Testing" option to access the app upload section.
- Click on Upload and select the desired APK file.
- Once the file is uploaded, Click on the Three Dots against the application and select "Biometric Authentication or Image Injection."
- The APK file will get instrumented and a success notification will appear on the screen.
- Once the Android app is instrumented, you can click on the "Drop Down" option against the app to view the instrumented application.
- Now you can simply install the instrumented app on the any available devices and test for Image Scan or Biometric Authentication.
