3. Navigate to General Information > Data Storage location.
4. Navigate to Project Setting > Quality > Cloud Testing.​​​

Huawei Cloud Testing

Cloud Testing provides a complete set of automatic test processes based on real mobile phone use. It tests automatically the compatibility, stability, performance and power consumption of Android apps, without manual intervention.

Compatibility Test

The compatibility test of Cloud Test allows you to perform real machine tests. The test automatically verifies 11 compatibility issues, including the app installation, start up, crash, application not responding (ANR), unexpected exit, running error, UI error, black/white screen, exit failure, account exception, and uninstallation.

Creating a Compatibility Test Task

1. Create New Test, choose Compatibility test tab, then upload the APK package of the app and select the app after the upload is complete.
2. Click Next. The page for selecting test phones is displayed.
3. Click OK. In the displayed Information dialog box, you can click Create another test to create another test task or click View test list to go to the test result page.

Stability Test

In a stability test, long-term traverse testing and random testing are performed to detect app stability issues such as the memory leakage, memory overwriting, screen freezing, and crash on Huawei phones.

1. Create New Test, choose stability test tab then upload the APK package of the app and select the app after the upload is complete.
2. Click Next. The page for selecting test phones is displayed.
3. Click OK. In the displayed Information dialog box, you can click Create another test to create another test task or click View test list to go to the test result page.

Performance Test

The performance test in Cloud Test collects performance data on real phones and analyzes app performance defects in depth. This test supports analysis of the startup duration, frame rate, memory usage, and app behaviors.

1. Create New Test, choose Performance test tab then upload the APK package of the app or Select existing app and select the app after the upload is complete.
2. Click Next. The page for selecting test phones is displayed.
3. Click OK. In the displayed Information dialog box, you can click Create another test to create another test task or click View test list to find the test result page.

Power Consumption

In the Power consumption test of Cloud Test, you can check key indicators and determine how your app affects the power consumption of devices.

1. Create New Test, choose Power Consumption test tab then upload the APK package of the app or Select existing app and select the app after the upload is complete.
2. Click Next. The page for selecting test phones is displayed.
3. Click OK. In the displayed Information dialog box, you can click Create another test to create another test task or click View test list to find the test result page.

App Build Result

Viewing and Analysing the Test Result

A test task may take 60 to 90 minutes. After the compatibility test is complete, you can view the test result in the test report.

1. Click View test list to navigate to the test result page. Alternatively, after creating a test task, Navigate to Project Setting > Quality > Cloud Testing to access the Cloud Testing result page.

​​​​​​​

Tips and Tricks

There is no limit for the number of device models that you can select when running a compatibility, performance, or power consumption test. However, you are advised to select at most nine models at a time to avoid long-time queuing for the most popular models.

Only one model can be selected for the stability test at a time.

In normal cases, a compatibility or performance test takes about 60 minutes, a power consumption test takes about 100 minutes, and the duration of a stability test is set by you. If the test duration exceeds the preceding duration, you can submit the problem with detailed description.

Conclusion

In this article, we have learned how to integrate Cloud Testing in Android application. After completely read this article user can easily implement Cloud Testing in the android based application.
