FAQPage Schema
How do I automate iOS device UI testing without using accessibility labels?

Vision-driven automation controls iOS devices by interacting with visible UI elements on screenshots, bypassing the need for DOM or accessibility labels. It uses natural language commands via WebDriverAgent to execute actions.

Can I control an iPhone using natural language commands?

You can control an iPhone or iPad using simple typed or spoken natural language instructions. The AI translates these commands into actions like tapping, typing, scrolling, and navigating within iOS applications.

What is vision-driven mobile testing for iOS applications?

Vision-driven mobile testing is an approach that interacts with any visible screen element regardless of the underlying technology. This ensures cross-platform reliability by automating UI navigation and verification without relying on code-level hooks.

Does WebDriverAgent support cross-platform automation for iOS?

WebDriverAgent supports cross-platform reliability by driving iOS device automation through visual element interaction. It executes natural language commands for tasks like tapping and scrolling without requiring platform-specific DOM access.

How do I automate tapping and typing on an iPad screen?

To automate tapping and typing, you instruct the AI with natural language commands to interact with specific visible elements on the screen. WebDriverAgent translates these instructions into precise UI interactions.
