Hello AlishaM,
Thank-you for your question.
Basically you are correct, the HP ALM Sprinter is used only for manual tests’ executions while the Zap-fix creates and executes only automatic tests:
But if you’ve noticed when you download and install Zap-fix you are also installing the Zap-fix Mobile and other devices Viewers (Please check Zap-fix’ installation directory);
Such Viewers can help you execute manual tests from within the HP ALM Sprinter to devices and machines which ALM does not support, such as:
Mobile devices, Mac machines, UnixLinux based OS, etc – This is being done by executing the specific Zap-fix Viewer from the HP ALM Sprinter tests’ steps.
Basically with Zap-fix you can use ALM and the ALM Sprinter for a variety uses, such as:
– Allows enterprise testing of Mobile Apps
– Modular test coverage across multiple Mobile OS
– Continue to Test Automation of manual test cases
Please contact Zap for further help.
Thanks,
Sasha
