{{SEITENTITEL:expecco Mobile Remote App}}
== Introduction ==
The "''expecco Mobile Remote App''" provides functions to start, pause and stop the execution of a testrun remotely.
<br>All interactive dialogs of the testcase can be answered via the app (in addition to the regular expecco user interface on your PC).

This is especially useful on the factory floor, with large test machinery or with machines where additional manual interaction is required: you can move away from your expecco-PC and still interact with the testrun as required (especially answer input requests, enter comments or photos).

== Installation ==
Load the app for your mobile (Android) device from the following link and install it:
<br>http://download.exept.de/transfer/h-expeccoRemoteApp-0.9/expeccoRemoteApp-0.9.apk

You may need root permissions for the installation. Please ignore any warnings about unknown source or unknown signature. We did not care for all those formalities, as there is no intent to publish this app for the general public in the official app-store.

== Connection ==
Any expecco which is to be remote controllable has to have a running service client.
Activate the service via the expecco menu under:
"''Extras''" &#8594; "''Web-Services''" &#8594; "''expecco Remote Service (REST)''" &#8594; "''Start...''".
If the "''Start...''" item is disabled, the service is already running.
Otherwise, a dialog appears, asking for a port number and an optional password for the connection.

Please make sure, that you mobile device can reach the PC on which expecco is running (both should be inside the same network and/or any router or firewall should open the given port number).

After start of the App (on the mobile), you are asked for the port number and possibly for the password.

== Interaction ==
After a successful connection setup, the current testplan is presented as a list, with individual testcases being highlighted according to their status. Also the currently active testcase is shown in a different color.
If the testcase ask for any user interaction (Value inputs or confirmation of a warning message), the message is presented both on the mobile device and on the expecco PC, and can be answered on either.

You can also pause/continue the test execution from your mobile device.

Finally, you can add a comment or take a photo during execution. These are added to the report as attachment and will be archived with the resulting execution log/report.

== Security Warning ==
Please note that the Mobile Remote App is only to be used in isolated secure networks and should never be used in a network which can be reached from the outside world.
The current version does not provide any security measures (neither authentication, nor the transmission is secured in any way). The password is transmitted as plain text, unless an HTTPS connection is used (this is only to prevent your colleagues from making fun of you - do not use passwords for this, which are also in use in other situations).

Under no circumstances should you enable the remote-client on an expecco-PC, which can be reached from untrusted machines (something you should not do anyway).

Be reminded the the intention for this app is to allow for the tester to be able to walk away from the machine which executes expecco and operate/manipulate/configure the system under test while still interacting with expecco's confirmation dialogs. Especially on a machine floor with long distances.

It is NOT meant to start/stop or otherwise configure tests.
For this, use the ALM interface which cares for both synchronization (i.e. prevents multiple users from entering conflicting data) and provides security via its web interface (usually with SSL connection and firewall protection).
