Silk Test 17.0 or later uses a different approach to mobile web testing than previous versions of
Silk Test. This change might result in your old mobile web tests no longer working on
Silk Test 17.0 or later. This topic describes some of the changes that were introduced with
Silk Test 17.0 and provides guidance on changing existing mobile web tests with
Silk Test 17.0 or later.
The following changes for mobile web testing were introduced with
Silk Test 17.0:
- With previous versions of
Silk Test, you were able to test on
iOS devices that were connected by USB to a Windows machine. With
Silk Test 17.0 or later, you can only test on
iOS devices that are connected to an OSX machine (Mac).
- If you have tested mobile web applications on an
Android device with a previous version of
Silk Test, you have to manually remove the proxy from the
Android device to test a web application with
Silk Test 17.0 or later.
Silk Test 17.0 or later no longer requires a proxy, and if the proxy is set, the message
Unable to connect to the proxy server displays on the device.
