MonkeyTalk is the world's great mobile app testing tool. This is very straight forward tool for android and IOS Testing.MonkeyTalk uses true object-based recording. Image-based tools try to identify things like buttons, tables, and text by looking at the pixels on the screen. MonkeyTalk looks "inside" your app to understand exactly what user interactions are being performed.

2) Setup Process for Eclipse and Monkey Talk :
Pre-requisites:
•
•
•
•
•
Eclipse sdk
Android SDK setup
ADT Plug-in for Eclipse
Monkey Talk Tool (Testing tool for Mobile Apps Testing)
AJDT (for AspectJ conversion)
Download URL:
Eclipse sdk from URL: http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.7.2201202080800/winPlatform.php#EclipseSDK
No need to install the Eclipse, just unzip the downloaded folder anywhere in local drive.
That will provide the ‘eclipse.exe’ which will open the Eclipse framework. On opening the
Eclipse framework, it will ask for the location of ‘workspace’ folder (‘Workspace’ is the
location where the entire Eclipse project will be saved). Make any workspace folder
anywhere in your machine and give the location.
Now Eclipse has successfully configured. Now we can open Eclipse, write any program and
can save program to workspace folder.

4. 3) Android SDK setup:
We need to setup and configure Android with Eclipse. Basically it is for development process
but in case if we need to check how’s the application behave we can have a look on such the
application in eclipse.
Download URL :
Android sdk from the following URL :
http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.2.1-windows.zip
No need to install the Android, just unzip the downloaded folder (android-sdk_r18windows) anywhere in local drive. That will provide the ‘SDK Manager.exe’ (which will
open the Android SDK Manager) and ‘AVD Manager.exe’ (which will open the AVD
Manager).
a ) SDK Manager:
•
•
•
used for installing the Android packages
Run the ‘SDK Manager.exe’ (can be found in the ‘android-sdk-windows’ folder)
