Automate camera-based testing

HeadSpin’s Image Injection lets you test camera workflows without relying on a physical camera or manual setup. Instead of pointing a phone at a QR code, check, or document, your test injects a chosen image into the app at the exact moment it asks for camera input.

It’s simple, scalable, and now available across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments.

Image Injection Life Cycle

Here’s what the Image Injection flow looks like in automation testing:
One time setup via API to enable injection capabilities for 'ipa' or 'apk' file.
Begin your target session by locking the device.
Install the instrumented app in your locked device.
Use API or Appium commands to inject image. The app reads them from the camera.
When device lock is released, injected image and configurations are automatically removed.
