The API is based on an abstract architecture consisting of a Client class with three main composition classes: TouchGestures, ElementValidation and ElementLogging, where each interaction class is connected to a Driver class that links the logic to the device.
The solutionĬurrently benefitting from the advantage of cross-platform functionality, a feature was developed for running the test cases concurrently on different physical devices. The main downside of Appium is that it is not currently designed to support multithreaded sessions, meaning that you cannot run the same tests on multiple devices at the same time. The currently supported ones are Java, Ruby, Python, PHP, JavaScript, and C#. Another advantage of Appium is the flexibility of choosing the programming language for developing test cases. To this end, it leads to a well-structured architecture of your testing framework.
It enables code reusability across platform test cases as long as the UI of the applications is similar. It is also cross-platform meaning that it allows you to write tests for the previously mentioned platforms based on the same API. Currently supported platforms are iOS, Android and Windows which make use of the WebDriver protocol.
Appium - general descriptionĪppium is an open source test automation framework for mobile apps. The article covers some generic information about the Appium automation service, a personal challenge in the production environment (alongside the adopted solution) and a step-by-step tutorial covering the API installation and configuration. A walkthrough of the key aspects of MAF - internal mobile automation API over Appium providing access to multiple devices on iOS and Android at runtime is described.
