iOS Parallel Automation - Viktar Karanevich - Mobile Test Automation Meetup (...Badoo
iOS Automation rapidly changed due to the evolution of Apple automation frameworks and Calabash community support. One year ago, we parallelised our iOS testing with multiple desktops - a large improvement in performance. Here is an account of the subsequent changes, including the removal of multiple desktops and the adoption of Apple's new XCTest framework.
The automation community (Appium, Calabash etc.) were faced with a new challenge: how could we create iOS Automation Infrastructure with the new XCTest Framework?
I adopted Facebook solution (FBSimCtl and WebAgentDriver) into the multi-simulators approach. In this talk, I will discuss the full evolution path to Hybrid Approach based on multi-simulators and XCTest framework, using Facebook open-source tools.
For the Appium aficionados amongst us, Dan Cuellar, creator of Appium and Principal Development Manager at FOODIt, will cover some of the more esoteric pieces of Appium along with tips and tricks he’s assembled from around the world to help you broaden your knowledge of Appium.

Shifting landscape of mobile automation, and the future of Appium - Jonathan ...Applitools
Full recording here: https://youtu.be/AV8p2aeqsOg
Watch Jonathan Lipps' in-depth overview of the mobile test automation landscape: past, present, and future -- including an in-depth analysis of current frameworks and what's in store for Appium.
5 years ago, mobile automation was in its infancy. None of the tools that enabled testing of mobile apps was very comprehensive, but on the other hand, there were a lot of open source options. Nowadays, the players and the playing field are different, and Appium came to dominate the open source mobile testing scene.
In this talk, expert Jonathan Lipps gives an exposition of the mobile testing landscape. He talks about what writing tests looks like with each of the current tools, and discuss when each might be a good (or bad) choice. In addition, he'll share his reflections on increasingly popular modes of testing beyond functional testing (like visual testing, for example), and what challenges might lie ahead for testers.
Key takeaways from Jonathan's session:
* History of mobile automation
* In-depth overview of the current technology and trends
* Set of factors to use when picking the technology that's right for you
* All about Appium's vision for the future
My final talk on the Appium mobile grid and getting started.
- Benefits of parallelization.
- The pros and cons of both cloud services and local setup.
- Getting connected devices information.
- Setting up Grid and Appium servers.
- Getting critical metadata to insert into Allure.
- The benefits of distributed tests vs parallel and when best to use them.
- Setup examples for Android and iOS.
- Leveraging cloud services by sending only selected tests to the cloud.
- Reduce service costs.
- Expose your app to a greater amount of devices and os's.
- A demo of Wunderlist's local grid.

Continuous integration is old hat in the web frontend and backend world, but it’s still rare for native mobile apps. For true continuous integration, we ship every commit directly to production – but this is clearly not realistic in the world of native apps, where binaries must be published in the App Store (with Apple’s week-long review process) and Google Play, then downloaded by members.
On the engineering side, we needed an aggressive goal to ensure we didn’t fall back into the pattern of manual verification of each release. We also wanted our product partners to be free to ship as often as they want (without annoying members of course!). We settled on a rule that we call “3x3”.

Closer To the Metal - Why and How We Use XCTest and Espresso by Mario Negro P...Sauce Labs
In this SauceCon 2019 presentation, Mario describes the practices that ABN AMRO adopted in mobile teams when it comes to testing native applications on real devices. Since using Espresso and XCUITest is still relatively uncommon for large apps and there are various unique challenges due to being in an EU-regulated industry with various security restrictions, Mario will share the ABN AMRO team’s experiences, including:
- A brief architectural overview of the Mobile Banking app: why it is all native (Objective-C/Swift and Java/Kotlin), how it communicates with other apps and websites
- Why ABN AMRO choose to adopt Espresso and XCUITest: the advantages and the limitations of this choice
- How ABN AMRO runs their test pipelines to spread them across time and devices and prevent teams from being blocked
