What are the challenges you faced working with Appium?

Figure 1: Challenges to Mobile Testing

• #1) Multitude Mobile Devices.
• #2) Device Fragmentation & Various OS Platforms.
• #3) Different Mobile App Types.
• #4) Numerous Test Interfaces.
• #5) Variety Of Testing Tools.
• Solution.

Here are some disadvantages of Appium:

• The testing of those android that are lower than 4.2 is not allowed.
• Appium has limited support for hybrid app testing.
• There is no support that will allow you to run Appium inspector on Microsoft windows.
• Doesn’t support image comparison.

Appium Tutorial: Set up Appium with Eclipse on Windows

1. Step 1: Install the Java Development Kit (JDK)
2. Step 2: Set Up Java Environment Variable Path.
3. Step 3: Install Android SDK / ADB on Windows.
4. Step 4: Install Android SDK Packages.
5. Step 5: Set up Android Environment Variable.
6. Step 6: Download and Install NodeJs.

Setup Android SDK Environment Variables. After installing Android SDK in your windows OS, you need to setup android related environment variables to execute Appium.

data exchange
The most difficult scenario to test with Appium is data exchange. 15) While using Appium can I run my tests in a multithreaded environment? Yes, you can run the test in a multithreaded environment but you have to ensure that no more than one test runs at the same time against the same Appium server.

Major Roadblocks While Testing Mobile Apps

• User Experience & Issues with App Performance.
• Touch Screen.
• Context Awareness.
• Lesser Time to Market the App.
• Security Issues.
• Variations of Mobile User Interfaces.
• Lack of Access to Multiple Devices.
• Device Based Testing Approach.

5) What is Appium’s weakest point? Ans: Open source software is great, however it naturally comes with some downsides which nobody is to be blamed for: unreliability is probably one of the most undeniable.

The main reason why Appium is a good choice for us is that it allows for tests to interact easily with both Android and iOS devices. Instead of using one toolset for Android and another for iOS, Appium combines how automation functions with each platform and puts it all into one library.

Appium does not require application source code or library. Appium provides a strong and active community. Appium has multi-platform support i.e., it can run the same test cases on multiple platforms. Appium allows the parallel execution of test scripts.

LOGIN PROCESS IN A DEMO APPLICATION USING APPIUM a) Device Name: Run command “adb devices” in command prompt. You’ll get the device name there. b) OS Version: Android version of your device. c) App Activity Name & Package Name: Download APK Info application in your Android device.

You can put all the prerequisites needed for starting with Appium in a single folder (Android Automation, in my case) which will make it easily accessible. This is what you will end up with: This was Part I of Appium Basics, which comprised of steps to make all necessary installations to begin with Appium automation test script creation.

Add the Appium jars into your project – click on project -> click on app->copy all the jars in lib. Select the copied jars except Selenium, Java client and Junit Jar,then right click on it and click on “Add as Library”. But I do not see “lib” folder in Android Studio’s project explorer, though I see in Windows Folder Structure.

You probably want to use Appium to automate something specific, like an iOS or Android application. Support for the automation of a particular platform is provided by an Appium “driver”. There are a number of such drivers that give you access to different kinds of automation technologies, and each come with their own particular setup requirements.
