WebDriver/Marionette: Difference between revisions

We want to be able to send remote testing commands to the mobile device. We do not want to hardcode what kind of test actions are available, we want this to be a unified method of sending commands to the phone, and then having a dispatcher on the mobile side sending the commands to the appropriate listener or harness.
