General Information About Testing Appdome Build2Test-Secured Android Apps
When testing Appdome Build2Test-secured Android apps with Tosca, the following Appdome protection features may be triggered:
| Appdome feature | Reason | Behavior with Build2Test |
| Detect Developer Options | Tosca might enable developer options to facilitate testing, which is detected as a potential security risk. | The app will detect this but will not crash, allowing testing to continue. |
| Block Android Debug Bridge (ADB) | Tosca uses ADB for interactions during tests, which this feature blocks to prevent unauthorized control. | The app will detect ADB usage but will not crash, ensuring smooth testing. |
| Prevent App Screen Sharing | Tosca records the screen during tests, triggering the screen-sharing protection. | The app will recognize the screen recording but will continue running without crashing. |
| Keylogging Prevention | Testing scripts that simulate inputs in a way that resembles keylogging might trigger this feature. | The app will detect potential keylogging behavior but will not crash. |
