Hi Alk, Thanks a lot for the reply. I had a look at Robotium. It seems it will solve my purpose.
But I am still not clear on whats the difference between Monkey ad Monkey runner. Can u please give a simple scenario explaining thier main purpose and difference between each other? I would be grateful to you if you clarify the below questions as well? 1) To work with Robotium do I need to have knowledge on Java or can I manage with Python itself? 2) Power management processes like suspend/restart is a key part in our testing. Can I achieve it using Monkey runner or Robotium? 3) Can we automate the operations like file copy through network using Monkey runner/Python? 4) I would like to create scripts that accept inputs from user while running. I have no knowledge on Python. Hope I can achieve it in Python. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks in advance. Rakesh On Jan 31, 2:40 am, "A.
