Run
Optimus runs your tests in parallel by default. Just connect the devices you need coverage on and choose between one of the following modes to trigger your test run
Fragmentation
Distribution
Suppose you have 5 feature files in your project and 5 devices connected, now in
Fragmentation
: All 5 features will run on all 5 devices.
Distributuion
: one feature will run on one device.
Your new OptimusTemplate project gets created with a sample test for an example app HelloOptimus
you can run your project as shown below.
Step 1: Connect devices(Android or IOs) or create an Android Emulator.
Step 2: Open your favourite terminal and navigate to the project folder.
Step 3: Check for Android Devices or Emulators by running
gradle runFragmentation -DtestFeed=HelloOptimusAndroid -Dtags=@helloOptimus
Step 4: Check for IOS by running
gradle runFragmentation -DtestFeed=HelloOptimusIOS -Dtags=@helloOptimus
