Appium is an open source, cross-platform test automation tool for native, hybrid and mobile web apps, tested on simulators (iOS, FirefoxOS), emulators (Android), and real devices (iOS, Android, Windows, FirefoxOS).

Supported Platforms

  • iOS
  • Android
  • Windows
  • FirefoxOS
See the platform support doc for more detailed information.

Why Appium?

  1. You don’t have to recompile your app or modify it in any way, due to use of standard automation APIs on all platforms.
  2. You can write tests with your favorite dev tools using any WebDriver-compatible language such as Java, Objective-C, JavaScript with Node.js (in promise, callback or generator flavors), PHP, Python, Ruby, C#, Clojure, or Perl with the Selenium WebDriver API and language-specific client libraries.
  3. You can use any testing framework.
Investing in the WebDriver protocol means you are betting on a single, free and open protocol for testing that has become a defacto standard. Don’t lock yourself into a proprietary stack.
If you use Apple’s UIAutomation library without Appium you can only write tests using JavaScript and you can only run tests through the Instruments application. Similarly, with Google’s UiAutomator you can only write tests in Java. Appium opens up the possibility of true cross-platform native mobile automation. Finally!









Limitations of APPIUM:

  • Appium doesn’t perform testing on mobile devices support Android Version lower than 4.2.
  • Doesn’t perform well on hybrid app testing and face difficulty in testing the switching action of application (from the web app to native and vice-versa).
  • With the help Appium.exe client, you can easily launch and run an Appium server and Appium Inspector on Windows machine, but on local server, you won’t be able to test iOS apps because Appium trusts on OS X-only libraries to support iOS testing.

Advantages of using Appium:

There are various advantages of using Appium for mobile application testing,
  • Using Appium, you don’t need to change the source code of the app while running the test.
  • To test your mobile app, you don’t need to stick on one particular language to write you test. You can write your test on all languages supported by Selenium. No any kind of setup or visualization required to test the application.
  • Although, it uses first-party (Apple and Google) automation frameworks for testing, test repeats user activities very correctly.


 



                       Happy testing......!

JavaScript prototype,,😊

This article is about JavaScript prototypes which confused me for a long time. In this article, I will explain JavaScript prototypes by following the outline below: What is JavaScript prototype How does it work __proto__ and prototype Examples What is the difference between using a prototype and no prototype Performance issues What is JavaScript Prototype Unlike many other object-oriented languages, JavaScript uses prototypes to share funcitonality with other objects— what does this mean? Prototypes are the mechanism by which JavaScript objects inherit features from one another. They share data and methods defined in a root prototype object. More simple is that all JavaScript objects inherit properties and methods from a prototype object. How does it work In my view, everything in JavaScript is an object . Functions are an   object . Strings, Boolean, and Number are   objects   (they are primitives wrapped in objects which provide functionality suc...

React libraries that every developer should know.

That’s exactly why we’ll be going over the top seven React libraries that every developer should know. 1. Lodash Lodash  makes JavaScript easier by taking the hassle out of working with arrays, numbers, objects, and strings. With over 40k stars on GitHub, Lodash is a popular library. According to its website, Lodash is a modern JavaScript utility library that delivers modularity, performance, and extras. Even though Lodash is not a specific React library, it is one of my personal favorite libraries to use because of how elegant it is. I’d highly recommend you checking out Lodash. 2. React Bootstrap The  React Bootstrap  library is exactly what the name describes: Bootstrap components built with React. Bootstrap is an open-source toolkit for developing with HTML, CSS, and JS. Bootstrap is the world’s most popular front-end component library. What is great about React Bootstrap is that it replaces the old Bootstrap JavaScript. Each component in thi...
