The document discusses Appium, test-driven development, and continuous integration for mobile testing. It provides an overview of Appium, describing its philosophy of allowing tests to be written in any language without modifying the app. It then covers why organizations choose Appium, the tools used for mobile testing including Appium, Selenium, and frameworks like Page Object Model. It also discusses test-driven development and how continuous integration can automate the build, test and deployment process.

5. Introduction
■ James Koch, CTFL:
◻ IT Solutions Architect
◻ Writer for Tech Beacon and http://www.swtestacademy.com/
◻ International Software Test Qualification Board (ISTQB)

6. What is Appium?

7. Appium’s Philosophy
■ You shouldn't have to recompile your app or modify it in any way in order to
automate it
◻ iOS: Apple's UIAutomation
◻ Google's UiAutomator
■ You shouldn't be locked into a specific language or framework to write and run
your tests
■ A mobile automation framework shouldn't reinvent the wheel when it comes to
automation APIs
■ A mobile automation framework should be open source

8. Why Choose Appium?
■ More and more, firms are choosing Appium!
■ Plug-in Ability
◻ Jenkins
◻ Selenium Grid
■ Deploy
◻ Sauce Labs
◻ AWS- Device Farm
◻ SIGOS- App Experience
App Experience

9. Tools
■ Appium
■ Intellij Community
■ Java Client Library
■ Selenium
■ TestNG
■ Android Studio or Standalone
■ Xcode and Command Line Tools

10. Selenium
■ WebDriver
■ iOS Driver
■ Android Driver
■ Appium Driver

11. The Page Object Model
■ Two directories in POM:
◻ Pages
■ Base Page
◻ Abstract- Contains any methods
◻ Sets up Driver and Page Factory Object
■ Application Page
◻ Documents any and all methods and objects for that page
◻ Tests
■ Test Base
◻ Abstract- lays out framework and the execution steps
■ Application Page Tests
◻ Abides by Test Base’s rules and calls methods from the Application Page
we wish to test

12. Test Driven Development
■ Testing while developing
■ Create a feature- run test
■ Create new feature- test both
■ Create new feature- test all three!

13. Continuous Integration
■ Process by which all the developers local working code base will
be merged to share with a common repository several times
during the product development.
■ Bundles important SDLC steps into a single automated and
repeatable process:
◻ Configuration management
◻ Compilation and Software builds
◻ Testing
◻ Deployment

14. Continuous Integration
Automated process that analyzes the validity of the code checked in:
■ Compile: Generating the executable files by linking the code and compiling after
■ Unit Testing: Writing unit tests, executing them, checking code coverage and reporting the results
■ Regression and Build Acceptance Testing: After all application code is developed and all unit tests
are performing optimally, a regression suite should be executed to assure all components work in unison
■ Deploy: Build the code and install it into a test/production environment.
■ Integration testing: Executing functional and performance tests in a production environment.
■ Report: Establishing the status of build by posting results to a central location

15. Continuous Integration
■ GitHub
◻ Source code repository
◻ Application Code
◻ Test Code
■ Jenkins
◻ CI Server
◻ Build Process
◻ Testing Process
◻ Deployment Process

16. Jenkins CI Process
1. Check iOS or Android project into Jenkins from GitHub
2. Verify if any changes were made to the application code
3. Start the Selenium Grid Hub
4. Start Selenium Grid Nodes with separate Appium instances for each physical device
5. Open and run the TestNG tests associated with each project and execute those tests
6. Produce HTML and TestNG reports of that particular run
