Modes of Device Interactions

Updated by Kashif Hussain

Sofy provides multiple avenues for real-device interactions that best suit your needs and phases of automation lifecycle.

  1. Adhoc / Live Testing Quickly acquire a real device from the Sofy Lab and interact with your app in real-time. This mode is ideal for exploratory testing, debugging, or verifying quick changes.
  2. Automate Turn your manual actions into automated tests. While recording, you’ll have access to advanced features not available in Adhoc mode—enabling you to capture more detailed steps, assertions, and custom flows to build robust automated test cases.
  3. Co-Pilot (By Request) Transform your existing manual test cases into automated ones with the help of Sofy's Co-Pilot. This feature—available on demand—lets you convert your documented test steps into executable tests, saving time and maximizing the value of your existing QA assets.
  4. Accessibility Testing Ensure your mobile apps are inclusive and compliant with accessibility standards. Sofy automatically detects critical accessibility issues to help you resolve these items timely.
  5. TestFlight Integration Run your iOS apps under development directly through TestFlight without uploading an IPA file. This is perfect for validating beta features quickly and staying aligned with your app’s release cycle—no manual uploads or extra steps required.
