Tagging Results

Supported within:
XML Compose

Tagging is a helpful feature to organize, share and search for scans within the axe DevTools Mobile Dashboard. Some helpful tags for your team may be the team name, build number, simulator version, etc.

Tagging is supported within manual or automated testing.

Option 1: Setup When Initialized

To tag a scan during manual testing, or to have a tag that will remain the same for the current test run (think build number), you can add the tag when initializing the AxeDevTools or AxeDevToolsCompose object.

val axe = AxeDevTools() //or AxeDevToolsCompose()
axe.tagScanAs(setOf("my_tag", "my_tag_2"))

Option 2: Tag After Scanning

The other option supported in automated testing is to call the tag function on the result of the scan after uploading to the dashboard.

XML

protected fun tagYourScanForXml() {
    rule.scenario.onActivity { activity ->
        val axeResult = axe.scan(activity)?.uploadToDashboard()
        runBlocking {
            tagResult(axeResult)
        }
    }
}

private suspend fun tagResult(axeResult: AxeDevToolsResult?) {
    withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
        axeResult?.tag(TagsSet(tag))
    }
}

Compose

protected fun tagYourScanForCompose() {
    val axeResult = axeCompose.scan()?.uploadToDashboard()
    runBlocking {
        tagResult(axeResult)
    }
}

private suspend fun tagResult(axeResult: AxeDevToolsResult?) {
    withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
        axeResult?.tag(TagsSet(tag))
    }
}
