1. APPIUM INTRODUCTIONS UI AUTOMATION TEST FOR IOS & ANDROID SIRIUS DELY 27 MAY 2015
2. UI AUTOMATION(?) Automate user's interaction with the app's UI: tapping button, filling forms, waiting for specific outcome from the app . BENEFITS: Automated for sure , for regression tests Using compiled builds from developer, automation tester (engineer) doesn't need to compile from codes.
3. DRAWBACKS: Something to learn, takes time at the beginning (for learning also while implementing on projects). Still need to do some 'developer' setups: installing simulators & SDKS.
4. APPIUM Open-source tool for automating native, mobile web, and hybrid applications on iOS and Android platforms. "Cross-platform", write tests once for multiple platforms: iOS & Android ('ideally': if the UI is totally the same, and each developer give the same 'tag' for all the UI elements between different platforms) .
5. APPIUM'S PHILOSOPHY #1 "You shouldn't have to recompile your app or modify it in any way in order to automate it." By using each platform's native automation frameworks: , , . We're testing the same app we're shipping! iOS UIAutomation Android 4.2+ UiAutomator Android 2.3+ Instrumentation #2 "A mobile automation framework shouldn't reinvent the wheel when it comes to automation APIs." Wrap each of those platform's automation frameworks into One client-server API: . Selenium WebDriver
6. #3 "You shouldn't be locked into a specific language or framework to write and run your tests." Selenium WebDriver API already has clients written in . Appium Team has for iOS & Android. many popular programming language extended WebDriver #4 "A mobile automation framework should be open source, in spirit and practice as well as in name!" Appium is ! open-source
7. GETTING STARTED: Install Appium UI app Find an app to be tested
