Remote access to a wireless device

1. A method comprising:

receiving a registration message from a mobile device, wherein the registration message includes an identification value from a mobile application executed by the mobile device;

establishing a persistent connection with the mobile device;

sending a testing command to the mobile application, wherein the testing command is configured to manipulate a user interface of the mobile application;

receiving a state message from the mobile application, and

compiling a lookup table including the testing command associated with the identification value for the mobile application based on the registration message received from the mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the state message includes a screenshot of the mobile application running on the mobile device.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the screenshot of the mobile application is compared to an expected status of the mobile application.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the persistent connection includes a cellular network.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

compiling a list of available devices, wherein the list of available devices includes the mobile device;

sending the list of available devices to a testing platform; and

receiving the testing command in response to the list of available devices.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the state message includes at least one object state that describes a state of an object included in the user interface of the mobile device.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the at least one object state includes a position of a widget.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the testing command simulates a user entry.

9. An apparatus comprising:

a memory configured to store at least one test command associated with an identification value for a mobile application running on a mobile device; and

a processor configured to access a test command and send the test command to the mobile application, wherein the test command is configured to manipulate a user interface of the mobile application, wherein the processor is configured to analyze a state message received from the mobile application in response to the test command,

wherein the processor is configured to compile a lookup table including the test command associated with the identification value for the mobile application based on a registration message received from the mobile device.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising:

a communication interface configured to establish a persistent connection with the mobile application.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the persistent connection is established via an emulation of a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the communication interface communicates with the mobile device through a cellular network.

13. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the state message includes a screenshot of the mobile application running on the mobile device.

14. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the state message includes data indicative of a state of a widget of the mobile application.

15. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to compare the state message to an expected state.

16. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least perform:

identify a test command associated with a mobile application, wherein the test command emulates a user entry to the mobile application;

send the test command to a mobile device running the mobile application;

receive a status message from the mobile device in response to the test command, wherein the status message describes a state of the mobile device upon execution of the test command;

receive a registration message from the mobile device;

identify an identification value from the registration message; and

add an entry to a lookup table, wherein the entry associates the identification value with the testing command.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the apparatus to perform:

establish a persistent connection with the mobile device through a cellular network.

18. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the apparatus to perform:

compare a test result screenshot included in the status message to an expected image corresponding to the screenshot.
