Robots that run your tests

Kapptivate runs your tests on real hardware. Some robots drive a browser, some drive phones over USB, and some carry live SIM cards. These pages follow a robot from installation to troubleshooting, the phones it drives included.

Installation

Install a robot

Rack, power, and cable a new robot, whatever its type

Configure a robot's network

Before support can deploy the robot: an address on your network, and proof it reaches Kapptivate

Smartphones

Prepare an Android smartphone

The Samsung settings that keep a phone awake and reachable over USB

Prepare an iPhone

Trust the robot, then let support finish the pairing

Maintenance

Swap a SIM in a cellular robot

The number you type decides: a swap that carries the old card's settings and monitors over, or a fresh SIM

Configure an older robot's network

When a robot with no desktop has to move to a new address on your network

Troubleshooting

Troubleshoot an Offline robot

What to read before you go, then the reboot and the cables

Check a robot's network connection

From a terminal on the robot, find out what blocks it on your network

Troubleshoot a SIM

When a SIM is refused, goes undetected, or won't register: the card, the slot, or the network

Fix a SIM test error

USSD with no answer, SMS never received, dropped call: what each message means
