This document provides an agenda for a presentation on mobile continuous integration and Appium. It includes topics like what Xamarin is, continuous integration, deploying and installing APKs, using Appium for automation, and configuring Android emulators for speed. Code samples are also provided for setting up a test project in Appium, finding objects, and common WebDriver commands.

2. What is Xamarin?
What is Continues Integration?
Getting your APK for google store
Deploy APK (Emulator)
TFS Build Template Integration
Why Appium?
Finding the objects
Appium Project Demo
WebDriver Common Commands
Android Emulators
Agenda

3. 70%-90% Shared Code
Xamarin Intro

4. Continuous Integration

5. Create a Private Key (Java SDK):
$ keytool -genkey -v -keystore <filename>.keystore -alias <key-name>
-keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
Compile The Project:
Msbuild.exe MyAwesomeApp.sln /t:PackageForAndroid
Sign the APK using (Java SDK):
$ jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -
keystore xample.keystore MyAwesomeApp.apk publishingdoc
Zipalign the APK (Android SDK Build Tools):
zipalign –MyAwesomeApp.apk MyAwesomeApp-Aligned.apk
Store Ready – The Commands

6. Uninstall Previous Installation:
adb <machineName> uninstall <name of
package/application>
Install New Package:
adb <machineName> install MyAwesomeApp-
Aligned.apk
*adb = Android Debug Bridge
ADB Deploy & Install

7. TFS Build Template

8. Web/Native/Hybrid Apps
Selenium Based Framework
Cross Platform (IOS/Android/WP)
Open Source
Easy Setup & Configuration
Why Appium?

9. Appium Architecture
Web Driver Script
Appium Server
(Node.JS)
Automation commands are sent
via JSON
1
2Appium Sever invoke commands
on devices
3
Appium Server logs the result to
console
4
Client sends back notification to
the server
4.2 +

10. System Requirements
JAVA SDK
Android SDK
Appium Server
Android Device (Real/Emulator) with Android
4.2+
ADB Interface Drivers

11. Find Android Objects
UIAutomation Viewer (Under Android SDK
Tools)
Scans UI objects
Get Xpath hierarchy

12. Demo
UIAutomationViewer

13. Setting The Test Project
Required Packages:
MS Unit Test or Nunit
Appium WebDriver
Selenium WebDriver

14. Demo
Hello Appium

15. Test Setup – here we’ll setup the application
and driver variables
[TestInitialize]
public void TestInit()
{
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.SetCapability("device", "Android");
capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.Platform, "Windows");
capabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "H30-U10");
capabilities.SetCapability("platformName", "Android");
capabilities.SetCapability("platformVersion", "5.02");
capabilities.SetCapability("appPackage", "com.appName");
capabilities.SetCapability("appActivity", "com.appName.Main");
driver = new AndroidDriver(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),
capabilities, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(180));
}
TestInitialize

16. Test Setup – here we’ll setup the application
and driver variables
[TestInitialize]
public void TestInit()
{
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.SetCapability("device", "Android");
capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.Platform, "Windows");
capabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "H30-U10");
capabilities.SetCapability("platformName", "Android");
capabilities.SetCapability("platformVersion", "5.02");
capabilities.SetCapability("appPackage", "com.appName");
// capabilities.SetCapability("appActivity", "com.appName.Main");
capabilities.SetCapability("app", @“C:Appscom.mobile.AppName-Signed.apk");
driver = new AndroidDriver(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),
capabilities, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(180));
}
TestInitialize – app install

17. var tabs = driver.FindElements(By.Id("com.whatsapp:id/tab"));
foreach (var tab in tabs)
{
if (tab.Text == "CHATS")
{
tab.Click();
}
}
driver.FindElement(By.Id("com.whatsapp:id/menuitem_new_conversation")).Click();
var contacts = driver.FindElements(By.Id("com.whatsapp:id/contactpicker_row_name"));
driver.FindElement(By.Id("android:id/search_src_text")).SendKeys(“Contact");
driver.FindElement(By.Id("com.whatsapp:id/contactpicker_row_content")).Click();
driver.FindElement(By.Id("com.whatsapp:id/entry")).SendKeys("Hello");
driver.FindElement(By.Id("com.whatsapp:id/send")).Click();
TestMethod

18. WebDriver Basic Methods
Actions
Clear();
Click();
FindElement(string);
Array/List FindElements(string,string…);
SendKeys(string);
Submit();
Explore
GetAttribute();
GetCSSValue();
Enable();
Selected();
Size();
Text();

19. The need for speed…
We need fast emulators!!
