Swipes are common interaction patterns used in mobile devices to perform specific actions or access additional functionalities such as navigation, refreshing screens, opening up contextual menus, drag-and-drop and so on.

Sofy allows you to register a swipe while automating your tests. They are easy to perform and work just like how they would on a real mobile device.

Here's how you can perform a Swipe action in Sofy

  1. Acquire a device from the Device Lab and open up your app. For demonstration purposes, here we will use the in-built Google Maps app
  1. To perform a Swipe action, click on a point on the mobile app & drag in the left, right, up or down direction
