Tapster – mobile device automation robot

Mobile developers: is there a need for this? Are automated testing tools for emulators not good enough?<p>Fascinated by this, but a bit confused about how practical its uses are. Very cool in any case.

I had the need for something like this as well at one time. Decided to ghetto-hack it since it only needed a touch at one point:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4b5ym1ZqSo&amp;list=UUm5ytliPWaH2rDPZ5kW1ZJg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Z4b5ym1ZqSo&amp;list=UUm5ytliPWa...</a><p>The headphones around the pen are to ground it, so that the touch registers on the tablet.

I love tapster and best of all, it can dance!

I see only one use for it: hardware&#x2F;display testing. For everything else a software&#x2F;gui automation tool will do the job (I use Automagic for Android and it costs 4 bucks not 10k!!!!)
