Abstract

Systems and methods are provided to test changes for a mobile app built by web-based tooling directly on a physical mobile device. A first application can be loaded on a mobile device. The first application can receive metadata of a second application. The first application can execute the second application using the metadata. Access to local resources can be intercepted and redirected to the server for processing. Additionally, changes made to the second application using the web-based tooling can be pushed to the first application using a persistent channel allowing the changes to be immediately tested.

Claims

1. A computer-readable medium storing a computer program product that, when executed by a processor of a computer, causes the processor to:

receive a request for a first application of a mobile device to execute a second application;

establish a connection with the first application;

send content of the second application to the mobile device using the connection;

receive a request generated by the first application, the request redirected by the second application based at least in part on a determination that the request is an access request for accessing a resource local to the mobile device;

generate a response to the request; and

send the response to the second application.

2. The computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the first application comprises a test application.

3. The computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the first application is configured for execution by the mobile device for testing the second application.

4. The computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein sending the content of the second application comprises sending the second application in response to a request for the second application to be pushed to the first application.

5. The computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the connection with the first application comprises a push channel.

6. The computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the processor is further caused to develop the second application using an application programming interface of a cloud-based service.

7. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a server, a request for a first application of a mobile device to execute a second application;

establishing, by the server, a connection with the first application;

sending, by the server, content of the second application to the mobile device using the connection;

receiving, by the server, a request generated by the first application, the request redirected by the second application based at least in part on a determination that the request is an access request for accessing a resource;

generating, by the server, a response to the request; and

sending, by the server, the response to the second application.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the first application comprises a test application.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the first application is configured for execution by the mobile device for testing the second application.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein sending the content of the second application comprises sending the second application in response to a request for the second application to be pushed to the first application.

11. The method of claim 7, wherein the connection with the first application comprises a push channel.

12. The method of claim 7, wherein the processor is further caused to develop the second application using an application programming interface of a cloud-based service.

13. The method of claim 7, wherein the resource is local to the mobile device.

14. A system, comprising:

a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions; and

one or more processors configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to at least;

receive a request for a first application of a mobile device to execute a second application;

establish a connection with the first application;

send content of the second application to the mobile device using the connection;

receive a request generated by the first application, the request redirected by the second application based at least in part on a determination that the request is an access request for accessing a resource;

generate a response to the request; and

send the response to the second application.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the first application comprises a test application.

16. The system of claim 14, wherein the first application is configured for execution by the mobile device for testing the second application.

17. The system of claim 14, wherein sending the content of the second application comprises sending the second application in response to a request for the second application to be pushed to the first application.

18. The system of claim 14, wherein the connection with the first application comprises a push channel.

19. The system of claim 14, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to develop the second application using an application programming interface of a cloud-based service.

20. The system of claim 14, wherein the resource is local to the mobile device.
