4. How to use the simulator

The Simulator in Workmaster is an essential tool that allows you to test and preview your app in real-time as you develop it. It simulates how your app will behave in a real-world environment, enabling you to interact with the interface, test functionality, and ensure that everything is working as expected before deployment. The Simulator helps you quickly identify and resolve issues, try out different layouts, and optimize the user experience.

Workmaster provides two primary modes for testing your app: Page Editor Run Mode and Simulator Run Mode. Each mode serves a unique purpose and can be used depending on whether you’re testing a single page or the entire app.

Two Testing Modes in Workmaster

1. Page Editor Run Mode

Page Editor Run Mode allows you to test only the current page you are working on. This mode is ideal for focused testing, where you can evaluate individual page elements, interactions, and layout adjustments. To begin testing in Page Editor Run Mode, refer to the User Manual: Page Editor Run Mode.

2. Simulator Run Mode

Simulator Run Mode allows you to test the entire app in a simulated environment. It’s useful for testing app-wide functionality, including page transitions and dynamic data interactions. To start and set up Simulator Run Mode, refer to the User Manual: Simulator Mode.
