The job to be done

How does TestDock help with share and file-entry testing?

Reuse the exact text, URL, or file inputs an app is expected to accept through the operating system's share/open-in flow.

Testing stays close to the installed app. Open links or share/open-in flows through the operating system; inspect AASA and assetlinks configuration; validate and send through Expo Push, APNs, or FCM; and keep redacted results and scenario evidence on the device. TestDock has no account, sync service, analytics, or backend.

Save reusable navigation tests, open them through the operating system, and inspect universal-link or app-link association data.

Recommended path

Save reusable tests

Add deep links, share fixtures, push setups, notification templates, and manual scenarios to that app profile.

TestDock keeps the app profile, resolved link or push input, protected provider setup, scenario state, and redacted outcome together on the device where the check runs.
