Hey, i ve to test an app written with PhoneGap.
Is there a cross-platform Testframework to tests this App for IOs and Android?

I don't know if there are any single applications you can use to test an app that are cross-platform both ios and android. If you install the android sdk, you can use the emulator to test the app for android. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Or it may be easier to use BlueStacks, its a program that lets you run android apps on your computer, not sure how well it supports phone gap though, http://bluestacks.com/

Thanks for replay.
I was thinking about Selenium as Testframework because its good for testing usual webapplications. Seeing that phonegap is HTML5 app platform I hoped its possible to use it, but it seems not to work.

At last I had time to test bluestacks, but this is not really usable for me. On the first hand the app I habe to test I cant install in there because its only in the google.play.store and on the secound hand, It doesn't make sense. I m really looking for a Framework (like Selenium) for testing, otherwise i just can take any device (or emulator) to test ;-)

Oh, I thought you just needed something because you didn't have a device. For android there is a test framework called Robotium, http://code.google.com/p/robotium/

Thanks, but I just found out, that Robotium is not suitable for testing WebApps or HybridApps. Maybe Testdroid is a solution (only for Android). Does anybody have experince with that?

Sry, but first of all u havent said what the error message is telling u and 2nd i think i m not able to help u in case i havent made the app. I just wanna test. You should start ur own thread including your error. You also can ask in the PhoneGap google Group, maybe there is someone who can help u.

But back to Topic:
I ve found 3 Frameworks that should work with PhoneGap:

• MonkeyTalk
(http://www.gorillalogic.com/testing-tools/monkeytalk):
o free
o for iOS and Android

• eggPlant
(http://www.testplant.com/products/eggplant/mobile/)
o only FreeTrial
o for all OS

• keynoteDeviceAnywhere
(http://www.keynotedeviceanywhere.com/mobile-application-testing-overview.html)
o only FreeTrial
