At this workshop, you'll learn about advanced concepts in Appium. We will learn how to write a single script for Android, iOS and mobile web apps. Once our tests are established, we will work on framework design and report. We will also have a detailed look at how can we automate various mobile gestures using TouchActions and mobile endpoints in Appium and running distributed tests in parallel on various emulators and simulators.

Leading-edge applications are dynamic and adaptive in capabilities that require people to use increasingly dexterous tools and supporting infrastructure, including microservices. All of these applications leverage data in new ways. Decoration and tagging of data with intelligent meta-data have become more important than data itself. To keep up with evolving needs, enterprise devs across industries are shifting from traditional app architectures in favor of more fluid architecture for building data-centric applications.

Microservices break traditionally structured applications into manageable pieces that can be developed and maintained independently. microservices are often decoupled, allowing for updates with little to no downtime, as the other components can continue running.

Moving to distributed Microservices ecosystem brings its own challenges; Among them is the loss of visibility into the system, and the complex interactions now occurring between services. Monitoring these applications only reports the health of it but Observability provides granular insights about the behavior of the system along with rich content. In this talk, we will cover the difference of Monitoring and Observability, data path engineering challenges, pillars of observability, distributed tracing of various microservices, testing in distributed microservices ecosystem, automated observability, etc.

Apple and Google’s test automation framework does not natively support W3C standards for few web driver spec implementations directly for e.g TouchActions interface in XCTest, etc. Although test automation frameworks support a rich set of those functions specific to platforms, Appium does provide ways to directly invoke these functions e.g gestures, biometric handling, etc.

Many special behaviors and workarounds are made available and achieved only through executing platform-specific native commands of Appium. For instance, there are 100+ issues been reported on date picker or handling picker wheel in the appium organization but it can be achieved quite easily by executing native mobile commands.

There are so many that testers might not get chance to go through each one of these and get acquainted with all of those. Native mobile commands help to handle much complex use cases like biometric handling, talking to Siri, performance profiling, etc quite easily.

Mobile Test Automation is increasingly becoming very important. Almost all web applications are responsive these days and it's very important to test how the application works across devices. The same is true with the native application as well. At the same time, the number of devices and the custom OS versions on devices are also vast. This means that it's harder for a tester to manually run the automated tests over a list of devices to get device coverage and quicker results over every feature development.

We came up with a solution of executing tests in distributed or parallel fashion across remote devices from anywhere in the network using Appium Test Distribution. Same framework is officially used by Appium members for Beta testing of Appium.

USP of ATD over other Market Solutions:

• Device Cloud:
  • Setup Devices anywhere within a network, ATD executes remotely without Grid
  • Never worry about device location in network.
• Plug and Play:
  • Connect your android/iOS devices or Emulators/Simulators and just execute tests.
• Multiple TestRunner:
  • TestNG and Cucumber
• Parallel Test Execution:
  • Runs across all connected iOS, Android real devices and Simulators/Emulators
• Test Coverage:
  • Parallel(Run entire suite across all devices, which gives device coverage)
  • Distribute(Run tests across devices to get faster feedback).
• Device Management:
  • Manage devices remotely using Device Manager.
• Reporting:
  • Covers detailed crashes logs from Android and iOS.
  • Appium Servers logs
  • Screenshots on Failures and On Demand Video logs
  • Reporting Trends for multiple builds
• Manual Access to Remote Devices - OpenSTF support
