Q: How do I install mobile-testing?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe --skill mobile-testing in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/mobile-testing/ (personal) or .claude/skills/mobile-testing/ (project).

Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe --skill mobile-testing

01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads mobile-testing automatically when relevant.
03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Mobile Testing

<default_to_action> When testing mobile applications:

DEFINE device coverage matrix (Tier 1: 60%, Tier 2: 30%, Tier 3: 10%)
TEST platform differences (iOS ≠ Android: back button, permissions, UI)
VALIDATE touch gestures (tap, swipe, pinch, long-press)
TEST mobile-specific scenarios (offline, low battery, interruptions)
USE real devices for critical paths, emulators for fast feedback

Quick Mobile Checklist:

Test on latest iOS + Android flagship devices
Test offline mode and network transitions
Verify push notifications work
Test gesture interactions (swipe, pinch)
Check permissions flow (camera, location, notifications)

Critical Success Factors:

Emulators for 80% of testing, real devices for 20% critical paths
Test on devices your users actually use (analytics)
Device fragmentation is Android's biggest challenge </default_to_action>

Quick Reference Card

When to Use

Native app development (iOS/Android)
Hybrid apps (React Native, Flutter)
Mobile web / PWAs
App store submission preparation

iOS vs Android Differences

Aspect	iOS	Android
OS Versions	2-3 supported	10+ in use
Devices	~40 models	1000+ variants
Back Button	Gesture/nav	Hardware/software
Permissions	Single prompt	Runtime granular
App Store	Strict review	Google Play + sideload

Device Coverage Tiers

Tier	Coverage	Devices
Tier 1	60% users	iPhone 15, Galaxy S24, iPad
Tier 2	30% users	iPhone 14/13, Pixel 8
Tier 3	10% users	Older devices, other manufacturers

Mobile-Specific Scenarios

// Offline mode testing
test('app works offline', async () => {
  await driver.toggleAirplaneMode();

  await driver.findElement('view-saved-items').click();
  const items = await driver.findElements('saved-item');
  expect(items.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);

  const banner = await driver.findElement('offline-banner');
  expect(banner.getText()).toContain('No internet');

  await driver.toggleAirplaneMode(); // Restore
});

// Location testing
test('location-based features', async () => {
  await driver.setGeoLocation({
    latitude: 37.7749,
    longitude: -122.4194,
    altitude: 0
  });

  const stores = await driver.findElement('stores-list');
  expect(stores.getText()).toContain('San Francisco');
});

// Permission testing (Android)
test('camera permission flow', async () => {
  await driver.findElement('take-photo').click();

  // Handle permission dialog
  await driver.findElement(
    'com.android.packageinstaller:id/permission_allow_button'
  ).click();

  expect(await driver.findElement('camera-view')).toBeDefined();
});

Agent-Driven Mobile Testing

// Cross-platform mobile testing
await Task("Mobile Test Suite", {
  platforms: ['iOS', 'Android'],
  deviceTiers: [1, 2],
  tests: 'regression-suite',
  parallelDevices: 5,
  deviceFarm: 'browserstack'
}, "qe-test-executor");

// Device farm integration
await Task("Device Farm Execution", {
  service: 'browserstack',
  devices: [
    'iPhone 15 - iOS 17',
    'Samsung Galaxy S24 - Android 14'
  ],
  recordVideo: true,
  captureNetworkLogs: true
}, "qe-test-executor");

Remember

Test on real devices for critical flows. Emulators catch 80% of bugs but real devices are needed for actual performance, sensor behavior, and platform quirks.

With Agents: qe-test-executor orchestrates testing across device farms, manages platform differences, and tests 10+ devices in parallel.
