Configure device type and device model

Learn how to configure the right device type and model to create your app tests in App Low Code Automation.

Set up your device type and model before you start a test in App Low Code Automation. It lets you create your test on the device you select, so you can verify your app’s behavior on the correct hardware. You can test across different environments and screen sizes.

Both iOS and Android devices are supported.

Why configure device type and model?

  • Your tests will run on the exact device and model you select, so you can validate real user scenarios.
  • You can identify and fix device-specific issues early in your development cycle.
  • Selecting the right device makes your test results more accurate and relevant for your users.

Select device type and model

Before you click Start test, you need to choose the device type and model.

  1. On the Low Code Automation dashboard, select the desired device type. Select the device type and model
  2. Select the device model from the dropdown. For example, choose iPhone 16 Pro Max. You can write your test on only one device model at a time.
  3. Click Start test >. A real device launches based on your selection. This ensures your tests run on the actual hardware, providing accurate results. A real device launches after you start the test, showing the selected device model and OS version on the screen

You can now select the app to upload. For more information, refer to the Upload apps document.

Best practices

  • Always select the device model that matches your target user base.
  • For consistent results, make sure all team members use the same device and resolution during testing.
  • Ensure your app is compatible with the OS version of the selected device.

Close system popups

System dialogs and permission popups, such as location, notification, or camera access requests, can appear at any point while your test runs and block the next step. When you turn on Close all system popups, App Low Code Automation accepts these popups automatically, so your test continues without extra steps to handle them.

Only alert-type popups are supported for automatic handling.

On iOS, you can’t use Close all system popups together with Biometric authentication. If you turn on both settings, biometric steps fail. The settings panel doesn’t prevent you from turning on both, so make sure only one is on before you start a test.

Enable automatic handling of system popups

To turn on the setting before you start a test:

On the Tests page, select the platform and device on which you want to run your test.

Click the Settings icon next to the device selector.

Turn on the Close all system popups toggle.

Settings panel next to the device selector with the Close all system popups toggle turned on

Click Start test.

What happens when a popup appears

When a system popup appears, App Low Code Automation accepts it and the test continues to the next step. This applies both while you author the test and during cloud runs.
