Appium lets you test all types of apps: hybrid, native or web ones. It doesn’t matter on which OS an app works, Appium doesn’t need a code of source to make effective automation.
No application installed – Appium principles allow you to test programs without modifying them. It’s about customization of the application, free choice of specific framework or language for running and writing tests. But let’s see what else Appium could do to make Mobile Automation[1] successful.
Basically, Appium is a simple Javascript server that is created to follow the generic architecture of client-server. It converts clients’ requests to automated scripts and then gives a response.
In this Operation System, Appium uses the UIAutomator framework. Android also developed a system, UI Automator, for these purposes:
Here’s how it looks:
Here, for successful collaboration with interface elements on Apple, we got the XCUI API.
Till the perfect app is not created, we need testing for every product and its features. So, here are some struggles that can happen if you choose Appium to test mobile devices:
Work with Appium is often asked to be local. Because of this, it utilizes upscale environmental conditions. It also runs on different operating systems. Businesses should check all configuration programs and operating systems. For possible scenarios issues, you need to test with exterior structures a larger matrix. Appium connects to only one device on each machine.
The corporate test application needs the necessary credentials and data in it. This is what you need to handle your elements properly. Сircuit must check all connections if an application uses, for example, camera or NFC.
Testers need a program to ensure accurate release. Appium testing for mobile has its own challenges. One of them is spending a lot of time on Appium integration with third-party system capabilities.
There’s also a thought that it’s available to automate the tests. So, you are looking for one surface. It can perform on dozens that are not on hundreds of structures. Testers using Appium set up a network of equipment and machines to test their researchers. As a result, managing a possible Extra Application Cycle (ALM) can be very important.
Why people still practice Appium for mobile app automation? Here are the benefits that could be solutions for your cases:
