BioMetric Authentication

Overview:

Biometric authentication is a method of verifying the identity of a user based on their biological characteristics, such as fingerprints. This approach is employed to enhance the security and convenience of software applications.

Step 1: Log in to the TestGrid portal with valid credentials.

• Start by logging in with valid credentials and navigating to the “Real Device Cloud” option tab.
• After selecting the “Connect” button for a specific device, the user will encounter the device screen interface, which showcases a range of options.
• Click the Installation button on the device and upload the fingerprint IPA/APK file.
• After successfully uploading the IPA/APK file, select “Biometric Bypass” and “Pass,” and install it.

Step 2: Select “Biometric Bypass” and upload the IPA/APK file. Click on Install and verify it.

There are two ways to validate biometric authentication:
A). Pass: If your device has a PIN or fingerprint set, you need to verify it in your testing apps by following the steps below.
After completing the installation of any testing app, you can choose the “Pass” radio button and verify to see a success message in the top-right corner of the screen. This will indicate that the biometric authentication case has been bypassed in your app.

B) Fail: If your device has a PIN or fingerprint set, you need to verify it in your testing app’s failure scenarios by following the steps below.

After completing the installation of any testing app, you can choose the “Fail” radio button and verify to see a failure message in the popup on the screen. This will indicate that the biometric authentication case has not been bypassed and the scenario test has failed in your app.

Note: Biometric bypass features are supported only on Android 13 and later versions.
