Mobile Engine 3.0: Appium Server and Tosca Mobile Assistant installation

As of Tricentis Tosca 14.2 LTS Patch 1 and Tricentis Tosca 14.3 STS, the Appium Server and Tosca Mobile Assistant are no longer part of the Tricentis Tosca installation. Not having these components can affect the way you work with the Mobile Engine 3.0:

  • Appium Server is a mandatory component if you want to run a local Appium Server and automate locally connected devices.

  • Tosca Mobile Assistant is an optional component that allows the Mobile Scan to automatically display locally connected devices and applications installed on them.

The upgrade procedure depends on your previous Tricentis Tosca installation:
