Selenium, Appium, and Robots!
34 likes35,062 views
Selenium and Appium are tools for automating testing of web and mobile applications. Selenium was originally used for testing web applications in browsers but as applications moved to mobile, Appium was created to allow the same tests to run on both Android and iOS platforms. Appium works by proxying commands to the appropriate automation tools on each platform. The presentation demonstrates sample code for testing a mobile app using Appium and discusses how physical robots can also be used for automated testing.

{
//
Init

browser.init(desired);
Go!
//
Type

fields
var

//
Click

5);

- 2. A brief history of test automation...
- 3. 2004:
- 5. aka
- 6. “AJAX”
- 7. “Web 2.0”
- 8. “It’s now safe to use JavaScript!”
- 9. But how do you test it?
- 10. With Selenium!
- 11. What’s Selenium?
- 12. “It’s like a robot that tests your app!”
- 14. Today:
- 15. It’s popular!
- 17. More popular than the competition!
- 19. But now...
- 20. the game has changed.

- 30. But how do you test it?
- 32. What’s Appium?
- 33. Appium is the cross-platform solution for native and hybrid mobile automation
- 36. Rule 1 Test the same app you submit to the marketplace
- 37. Rule 2 Write your tests in any language, using any framework
- 38. Rule 3 Use a standard automation specification and API
- 39. Rule 4 Build a large and thriving open- source community effort
- 40. Selenium WebDriver is the standard for browser automation, with libraries in every* language
- 41. Selenium WebDriver is used every single day by thousands of developers familiar with its model
- 42. Selenium WebDriver is a W3C working draft
- 44. Appium is an HTTP server that creates and handles WebDriver sessions
- 45. On iOS, Appium proxies commands to a UIAutomation script running in Instruments
- 47. On Android, Appium proxies commands to a UiAutomator test case running on the device
- 49. Appium opens the door to cross- platform mobile testing: one test, two mobile platforms
- 50. (just like how Selenium started...)
- 51. Demo!
- 52. Sample code:
- 53. Ready... var wdSync = require("wd-‐sync") , assert = require("assert") , appURL = "http://appium.s3.amazonaws.com/TestApp6.0.app.zip"; // Define the environment var desired = { device: 'iPhone Simulator' , name: "Appium: Sync WD" , platform:'Mac 10.8' , app: appURL , version: '' , browserName: '' };
- 54. Set... // Instantiate a new wd session var client = wd.remote("localhost", 4723); , browser = client.browser , sync = client.sync;
- 55. sync(function() { // Init the browser browser.init(desired); Go! // Type into two fields var fields = browser.elementsByTagName('textField'); fields[0].type('2'); fields[1].type('3'); // Click a button var buttons = browser.elementsByTagName('button'); buttons[0].click(); // Verify results var texts = browser.elementsByTagName('staticText'); assert.equal(browser.text(texts[0]), 5); // quite the browser browser.quit(); });
- 56. Now for something (not) completely different
- 57. Remember when I said “like a robot”?
