How we took Appium to 11 platforms
45 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
Every second, a million minutes (17,000 hours) of video content will cross global IP networks by 2021, according to Cisco (via Forbes). As it stands today, over ⅓ of online activity is spent watching video. However, there is a unique challenge testing video applications because they tend to run on a wide range of platforms - mobile and tablet, streaming devices, consoles, and Smart TVs. Today, it also demands on individually testing the app on each and every device - highly inefficient and a real pain.
At You.i TV we have developed an Appium Driver that allows us to use the power of Appium to test C++ and React Native video applications built with our You.i Engine One SDK on a wide range of platforms including iOS, Android, tvOS, Android TV, PS4, XBox One, Samsung Tizen, LG WebOS, macOS, Linux, Windows simultaneously - an industry first.
This talk will focus on the journey and learnings we discovered along the way - including writing a custom Appium Driver and automation layer, the unique needs of 10-foot devices (remote controlled), and the power we see in combining Appium with React Native.
