Install the mabl Desktop App and get started with building reliable and comprehensive test coverage for your application. The mabl Desktop App provides functionality and benefits that are not possible in web-based testing tools, including API and mobile testing, local runs, dedicated resources, and stateless training sessions.
API and mobile testing
The Desktop App provides exclusive functionality that is not possible in web-based testing tools, including:
- API testing
- Mobile app testing
- Training and running tests in Chrome mobile emulation
Local runs
Similar to the mabl CLI, the Desktop App includes the ability to execute local ad hoc runs. These tests execute locally to your machine and do not contribute towards your quota of allotted credits. Local runs are a great way to get rapid feedback and ensure your tests are working as expected.
Dedicated resources
The Desktop App has dedicated resources on your machine, so it does not have to compete for resources with other tabs or browser windows.
Stateless training sessions
When you create tests for a web or mobile app, the Desktop App ensures that the test uses a clean session.
- For web apps, mabl ensures that cookies and browser state don’t interfere with your training session.
- For mobile apps, mabl ensures that the training session uses a clean application and device state.
These steps ensure that your application behaves consistently during training and execution.
