Welcome to Mobly

Mobly is a Python-based test framework that specializes in supporting test cases that require multiple devices, complex environments, or custom hardware setups.

Here are some example use cases:

Mobly can support many different types of devices and equipment, and it's easy to plug your own device or custom equipment/service into Mobly.

Mobly comes with a set of libs to control common devices like Android devices.

While developed by Googlers, Mobly is not an official Google product.

Compatibility

Mobly is compatible with both python 3.4+ and python 2.7.

NOTE: As part of the bigger communitiy initiative, we are planning to drop Python 2.7 support in 2020. Mobly 1.10 is likely the last major release to support Python 2.7.

Mobly tests could run on the following platforms:

Platform Build Status
Linux Linux Build Status
Windows Windows Build Status

System dependencies

If you use Python3, use pip3 and python3 (or python3.x) accordingly.

Installation

You can install the released package from pip

pip install mobly

or download the source then run setup.py to use the bleeding edge:

git clone https://github.com/google/mobly.git
cd mobly
python setup.py install

You may need sudo for the above commands if your system has certain permission restrictions.
