In order to test an application that requires biometrics via Kobiton, you will need to alter your app to use a custom Kobiton library:
- iOS instructions for integrating the Kobiton biometrics library to an app
- Android instructions for integrating the Kobiton biometrics library to an app
Once your application is ready, upload it to Kobiton App Repo and install it during your testing.
Biometrics in a manual session
In a manual session, you will see a fingerprint icon in the left toolbar. This represents biometrics.
When you install your altered app and it requests biometric authentication, Kobiton detects this request and prompts a dialog box for you to choose a response. You can either choose Pass or Fail.
Additional information about this feature:
- While the device is waiting for your biometric authentication response, you won't be able to:
- Touch/type/swipe on the device
- Use these features on left toolbar: set timezone, location, sensitive data, image injection, multi gesture
- While the device is waiting for your biometric authentication response, you will be able to use these features:
- Adjust volume
- Click to return to Home screen
- Turn off/on screen
- Rotate
- If you don't choose a response within 20 seconds, a Fail response will be sent to the device.
Biometrics in an automation session
Use the following commands to trigger a successful or failed authentication in response to a biometric prompt:
-
driver.execute('mobile:biometrics-authenticate', {result: 'passed'})passes a successful authentication to the prompt -
driver.execute('mobile:biometrics-authenticate', {result: 'failed'})passes a failed authentication to the prompt
The following sample test script show how to use the command:
