Organizations today rely more and more on their mobile apps for their business. Many organizations today are seeing over 50% of their web traffic coming in via mobile devices and In some cases the mobile app is the only way customers interact with the business. In this Webinar, Sauce Labs’ partner, Infostretch will cover best practices in implementing Appium to enable you to quickly automate your mobile tests.
Automating Hybrid Applications with AppiumSauce Labs
When creating a mobile application, organisations have a few options to choose from; mobile web, native or a hybrid application. Where web apps are just websites that can be accessed on the internet via a mobile browser like Chrome or Safari, native apps are applications that are developed for a specific platform such as Android or iOS. Hybrid apps are different because they possess elements from native apps and web apps.
When automating web applications, Selenium commands are used. Nine out of ten times the same automation script can be used for mobile web applications as our desktop web applications. With native apps however, we need to look deeper into the differences between Android and iOS apps before we can use Appium commands.
But how should you automate hybrid apps, can or do you need to choose one of the two automation strategies or is there also a hybrid approach for automating hybrid apps?
That’s what we are going to talk about during this webinar. We will be looking into how to detect a hybrid application for Android and iOS, the do’s and the don’ts when it comes to automating a hybrid application and we will provide you with tips and tricks on how to make this work for both Android and iOS.
By the end of this webinar, you’ll be able to create your own Appium scripts to automate Android and iOS hybrid mobile applications.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand what a hybrid mobile application is
- How to detect a hybrid mobile application
- Learn how iOS and Android handle hybrid mobile applications
- Learn how to automate hybrid mobile applications

Creating Digital Confidence with Test AutomationSauce Labs
Engineering teams understand the importance of a comprehensive continuous testing strategy to build digital confidence, improve user experience, and accelerate release velocity. However, when beginning on the journey to continuous testing, the task of building and executing a strategy that provides clear value can be challenging. Whether it’s designing automation from scratch, understanding where you can scale the value of your tests throughout the pipeline and across teams, or demonstrating the value that quality brings to larger business objectives, building a test automation strategy sometimes creates a web that is seemingly too complex to untangle.
In this webinar, Yoosuf Maktoum, Senior Manager of Quality Engineering at Sysco Corporation, will share a test automation design and implementation strategy that helped his own team achieve success. Yoosuf will discuss a unique test automation design pattern that both supports and accelerates automation efforts. This framework, leveraging open source technologies, enables reusability, smarter and faster automation, and is suitable in both a DevOps and Agile workflow. He will then demonstrate how this framework can be applied to a single test automation script for functional and nonfunctional tests, test data management, and test environment management, as well as how it can support testing for both legacy and modern applications. Through these methods, his team is able to provide quality as a service across the organization.
Attendees of this session will learn:
- Basic design principles to consider when building out automation, and how open source can augment your strategy
- How to apply a single automation framework across various types of testing (web, mobile, API, and standalone automation)
- Strategies for aligning testing with business objectives to demonstrate value to leadership
The challenge for every product is to ship bug-free code as often as possible. Whether you are an early stage startup with a pilot application or a large corporation with myriad services, you’re dealing with this problem every day.
We usually end up with either too little or too much testing and it’s hard to find the sweet spot. Too little testing and you have bugs and application instability, leading to time spent fixing bugs and manually regression testing your apps. You’re asking yourself, “isn’t there an easier way to do this?” Too much testing and you have slow release times and high automation maintenance costs. In this scenario, you’re asking yourself, “are the bugs I’m catching worth the time I’m spending maintaining this code?”
In this webinar, software engineer Kate Green will go over a framework for evaluating your testing situation in order to find your organization’s sweet spot.
Key Takeaways
- Understanding where you are today
- Identifying weak, brittle, or buggy parts of your application
- Figuring out where to test first, and with what types of tests
- How to pare down an excessively large automation suite

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
Continuous Delivery for "Mature" Codebases by Melisa BenuaSauce Labs
When starting up a greenfield project, it’s easy to take advantage of the most modern development practices. But what about the rest of us, who are working on codebases greater than five minutes old? How do you take code that’s four years and hundreds of thousands of SLOC, and turn that into a lean, mean, continuous-deploying machine? In this SauceCon 2019 presentation, Melissa Benua walks through what continuous integration and deployment means for teams working on mature code bases, and what the roadmap looks like to get from a release cycle that may take weeks or months to one that deploys on-demand.
Building Automation Engineers From Scratch by Jenny BrambleSauce Labs
Creating automation engineers from manual testers is hard. Even if testers are willing, they have a lot of hurdles to get over to feel like the same kind of subject matter experts in automation as they are in manual testing.
As a career-long manual tester making the leap to automation, Jenny Bramble has experience to explain frustrations and provide solutions. In this SauceCon 2019 presentation, she discusses managing the expectations of testers and their managers (what’s the time frame? Why isn’t this working?), techniques for teaching (such as games! Pair/mob programming! Software fundamentals!), and how to know when testers have made it (what should manual testers be aiming for when they start?)
