Hi Wolfgang

Will those simulator apps correctly expose the name, role and state of
UI controls?
Do they simulate app navigation (e.g. expose swipe order)?
Do they share the actual info or just a bitmap of the app?
I'd be worried that these simulators don't share enough detail to be
useful, but I'd love to be wrong about that.
I know some of the automated/guided testing tools from Deque and
Evinced come with a desktop app component (that connects with the
device) for some aspects of the testing, but I've never actually done
a hands on session.
Let us know how things work out for you with this.
