IBM MobileFirst Platform - Part II. Install the Mobile Test Workbench

Let's go! with the Mobile Test Workbench, if you have MobileFirst Studio installed (IBM MobileFirst Platform - Part I Install Developer Studio),  you can automate the functional testing of Android and iOS applications that were built with MobileFirst Studio.
  1. Start Eclipse, and then select Help > Eclipse Marketplace
  2. In the Find field, type MobileFirst Platform Test Workbench and click Go
  3. Click the Install button
  4. Select the features that you want to install, and then click Next.
  5. Click Next, and then review and accept the license terms, and then click Finish to begin the installation
  6. Follow the prompts to complete the installation
  7. Restart Eclipse IDE for the changes to take effect
Note: Testing Android applications with the Test Workbench requires a JDK. Be sure to add the path to the JDK in Eclipse under Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs, and set it as the default JRE by selecting its corresponding check box

When IBM MobileFirst Platform Test Workbench is installed, you can install the mobile test client for Android and the mobile test client for the iOS Simulator.

  2. Hi Dinesh, I think that IBM MobileFirst Platform TestWorkbench 8.7 only supports MFP 7.1 apps. :/
