Mobile Automation Testing Using Appium

Appium allows parallel execution of test automation scripts on different Android or iOS sessions using UIAutomator, UIAutomation, or Xcode9. This speeds up the testing process and ensures scalability. You test the same app that the users are going to access

Appium for Beginners 

• 1. Install the Java Development Kit (JDK)
• 2. Set Up Java Environment Variable Path.
• 3. Install Android SDK / ADB on Windows.
• 4. Install Android SDK Packages.
• 5. Set up Android Environment Variable.
• 6. Download and Install NodeJs.

We have a dedicated placement portal which caters to the needs of the students during placements.We conducts development sessions including mock interviews, presentation skills to prepare students to face a challenging interview situation with ease.

Starting with the most obvious differences between mobile app testing and web app testing, we see that mobile apps are usually meant for larger numbers of users, more diverse devices, and an increasingly broader range of communication than web apps.

This is a shortlist of software and hardware required for automating a mobile App testing using Appium:

• Your PC should have JDK, Appium Server, Eclipse, Android SDK installed.
• Apk: Mobile Application to be automated in our Case ContactManager.
• Testing Device: In this case Moto G.

Key Points. Device testing is generally being carried out to check the mobile device itself, whereas Mobile application testing involves testing of an application which will be running on the chosen device.

Mobile Testing - Appium Framework. Appium is an open-source test automation framework for testing native and hybrid apps and mobile web apps. It drives iOS and Android apps using the WebDriver protocol.

Appium needs to be running and pass the following parameters and Device Name in Android Settings. In Android Setting, the user needs to set the APK path where the APK is located, Check app path, package and launch Activity. Connect your android phone to PC and turn on USB debugging mode. Open Command prompt.

On average, apps can take anywhere between three and nine months to develop, depending on the complexity of the app and structure of your project. Each stage in the process takes different amounts of time to complete, but the most time-consuming of these tend to include: Writing a project brief: one or two weeks.

How to establish a successful mobile application testing career?

• Familiarity with mobile device A Good understanding of the mobile devices, their peripheral devices, networks etc.
• Analytical skills these help break down complex issues into smaller units for better understanding and treatment.
