Appium is very useful tool, but that does not mean everyone can use it without any effort.
Users sometimes need to tweak command parameters, and the version upgrade of Appium or dependent platform sometimes causes problems.
As the lead developer of a cloud testing service using Appium as its backend, I have been managing these problems with various measures.
In this session, I introduce especially unique ones of all these measures.

      Hi Arand.

      > 1. Can you please update the proposal to 45-min?

      Updated to 45-min. I also updated the Presentation Type to "Demonstration" since I couldn't choose 45-min for "Experience Report" type.

       

      > 2. Can you please update the title to be more in-tune and relevant to the topic?

       

      What do you think is the best among the following? I'm not sure which one is most appealing and appropriate.

      • Efforts to use Appium stably as our product's core
      • How to use Appium more stably and easily
      • How we use Appium as our product's core library
      • How to make Appium more stable and more user-friendly [Original one]
