Automate your mobile app testing About This Book How to automate testing with Appium Apply techniques for creating comprehensive tests How to test on physical devices or emulators Who This Book Is For Are you a mobile developer or a software tester who wishes to use Appium for your test automation? If so, then this is the right book for you .You must have basic Java programming knowledge. You don't need to have prior knowledge of Appium. What You Will Learn Discover Appium and how to set up an automation framework for mobile testing Understand desired capabilities and learn to find element locators Learn to automate gestures and synchronize tests using Appium Take an incremental approach to implement page object pattern Learn to run Appium tests on emulators or physical devices Set up Jenkins to run mobile automation tests by easy to learn steps Discover tips and tricks to record video of test execution, inter app automation concepts Learn to run Appium tests in parallel on multiple devices simultaneously In Detail Appium is an open source test automation framework for mobile applications. It allows you to test all three types of mobile applications: native, hybrid, and mobile web. It allows you to run the automated tests on actual devices, emulators, and simulators. Today, when every mobile app is made on at least two platforms, iOS and Android, you need a tool that allows you to test across platforms. Having two different frameworks for the same app increases the cost of the product and time to maintain it as well. Appium helps save this cost. With mobile app growth exploding, mobile app automation is mainstream now. In this book, author Nishant Verma provides you with a firm grounding in the concepts of Appium while diving into how to set up appium & Cucumber-jvm test automation framework, implement page object design pattern, automate gestures, test execution on emulators and physical devices, and implement continuous integration with Jenkins. The mobile app we have referenced in this book is Quikr because of its relatively lower learning curve to understand the application. It's a local classifieds shopping app. Style and approach This book takes a practical, step-by-step approach to testing and automating individual apps such as native, hybrid, and mobile web apps using different examples.

Learn how to run automated tests on web and mobile apps efficiently KEY FEATURES ● Get started with automation testing using Python, Selenium, and Appium. ● Learn how to create a test automation framework from scratch. ● Learn how to perform web and mobile app testing using Selenium and Appium, respectively. DESCRIPTION Appium and Selenium are popular open-source frameworks widely used for test automation in the software industry. Python, on the other hand, is a versatile and powerful programming language known for its simplicity and readability. Combining Appium and Selenium with Python offers numerous advantages for test automation, including a simplified testing process, faster test execution, and increased efficiency in test script development. Written by a Test Automation Architect, this book aims to enhance your knowledge of Selenium and Appium automation tools. The book will help you learn how to leverage Python for test automation development, gaining skills to automate various types of elements, actions, gestures, and more in web and mobile applications, including Android and IOS. Furthermore, the book will help you create a robust and maintainable test automation framework from scratch. Lastly, the book will teach you how to utilize Selenium Grid with Docker to run and distribute tests across multiple machines, enabling you to maximize efficiency and productivity in test automation. By the end of the book, you will be able to build effective and scalable automated testing solutions using Python. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN ● Learn how to automate web testing with Selenium and Python. ● Learn how to automate Mobile testing with appium and Python. ● Learn how to handle exceptions and synchronization for web and mobile apps. ● Learn how to automate Hybrid apps using Selenium and Appium. ● Learn how to integrate Selenium Grid with Docker.
