Alternative Libraries for Multi-Device Android Testing with Uno.UITest or any other testing library

[nksharma1999]

@jeromelaban
I’m using Uno Platform (WinUI) with Uno.UITest for UI tests and want to run them on multiple Android versions (9.0–14.0). I’m seeking alternative libraries to Uno.UITest for multi-device testing, ideally with:

Uno Platform compatibility.
Support for parallel testing on device clouds (e.g., BrowserStack) or local emulators.

NUnit integration.

Easy migration from Uno.UITest’s API (app.Query, app.Tap, etc.).

My tests involve basic UI actions (tapping, text input, assertions) in C#. Has anyone scaled Uno.UITest for multi-device Android testing or used alternatives like Appium? Any setup tips or integrations with device farms?

Thanks for the question.

Similar to #7984, at this time, for Skia Renderer apps, we're suggesting to use https://github.com/unoplatform/uno.ui.runtimetests.engine, which runs an in-app test engine. This topic will improve in the future to ease the testing in the environments you're mentioning.

It's not an easy migration from Uno.UITest at this time, though.

@jeromelaban : Can we use uno.uitest to test multiple Android applications simultaneously?

By simultaneously, do you mean on the same machine, at the same time? If yes, I don't beleive that Xamarin.UITest supports this, there's no option to specify which emulator to connect to. Using multiple host machines would be a solution.

I am attempting to execute automated tests simultaneously on multiple devices (e.g., running the test code concurrently on two open emulators locally).
