Overview of this book

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.

Windows Appium app has couple of options lesser than the Mac OS X, however functionally it represent the same as described below. Let's take a look at each of the icons and what it helps us to do:

  • Open Configuration: This lets you select any previously saved Appium configuration and load.
  • Save Configuration: This saves the current Appium config, which is basically the settings you selected with Android or iOS or General.
  • Doctor: It runs the appium-doctor.js program and tells you whether all the wirings are proper. By wiring, I mean it performs the following checks:
    • Xcode path
    • Xcode command-line tool
    • Checks for DevToolsSecurity to be enabled
    • Node.js installation...
