How to integrate opentelemetry with Appium 2.0
Appium 2.0 introduces concept of plugins, to enhance appium without adding additional overhead for the users who dont need the feature. To take advantage of this, we have developed a opentelemetry plugin for appium which helps integrate opentelemetry with appium and can expose debug info and traces configurable via an API. The talk will provide brief overview on what opentelemtry is and how is it important, as well as give a basic demo of the appium opentelemetry v1 plugin.
Outline/Structure of the Demonstration
basic intro to appium 2.0 platform (3 mins)
Intro to opentelemetry (what, why) (4 mins)

Demonstration (5 mins)
Challenges (2 mins)
Future prospects and maintenance with opentelemetry updates and features (4 mins)
Learning Outcome
This talk will help developers understand how exporting debug related info helps understand whats happening under the hood to solve issues that are sometimes intermittent, or performance related issues, or in general having a common format of debug data to try and analyse later.
