Fix bugs on Android apps in Perfecto

Use DevTunnel to create a secure connection to the Perfecto device, select the Perfecto device from the IDE's device selector, and run the debugger.

Using Perfecto devices as the platform for debugging your Android application is a simple process:

  1. Open the device in Perfecto, in the Manual Testing view.
  2. Connect the device to your development station with DevTunnel.
  3. Debug your app, selecting the Perfecto device that appears as a USB-connected device from the device selector tool.

Debug on the device

From your IDE (either IntelliJ, Android Studio, or Eclipse), run the debugger on your Android app. You can debug the application or the Espresso unit tests directly on the Perfecto device.

In the device selector window, you should see the Perfecto device in the list of connected devices. Select the device and click OK.

The debugger will automatically build the apk file and install it on the Perfecto device. All debugger breakpoints will work as if the device was connected directly to the development computer.

The following video shows a short debugging session in Android Studio using a Perfecto device connected through DevTunnel.
