Automation For Mobile Application Testing

Agenda Know The Challenges Approach App

Know The App  Type of Application: Native, WebApp or Hybrid.  Roadmap for the application.  Intended audience.  Green platforms and devices.  Mobile networks.

Know The App :WHY  Idea to focus on the type of testing.  To isolate the tools that you require.  To accelerate testing to the pace of development.  Reduce the number of dimensions to test.  Limit the effort for manual testing.

Challenges  Mobile Testing complexity = O( Platforms * Hardware * devices*networks)  No single tool to automate all dimensions.  Compatibility with existing systems.

Approach

Basic Test Checklist  Functional.  Installation/provisioning.  Performance.  Usability.  Security.  Conformance.

Appium  Retro fit our current harness  Open source and easy to extend to multiple OS.  OS independent.  Standard automation API and no need to modify the app.  Flexibility of using multiple programming languages.  Automate installation of APK on multiple clients.  SelAndriod for support of prior Andriod releases.  Ability to run on emulators and also real devices

Current harness

Clients S E Appium L Server/Emulator I N Appium I Server/Emulator U MVN JSONP M TestNg Appium WebDriv Server/Emulator G er R Tests I Appium D Server/Emulator Appium Server/Emulator  Running both Appium server and Emulator on same client vm.  Leverage TestNG tagging mechanism and grouping to run OS specific tests.  Auto install apk as part of setup, helps in automating installation and provisioning.  E2E tests automated using Appium and API tests using home grown harness.

Device Farm  Replace vms with devices.  Test app to collect system data on devices during execution.

Limitations  Manual start of emulators.  No support for all selenium APIs.  Only basic support for xpath, identify element by content description.  Some functions available only on IOS.  Flows tested, but features like touch, and usability still open.

Beyond Acceptance  Little Eye/UTest for performance and load  Rounds of manual testing for usability.  Contextual keyboard testing.  Security testing.  Network simulation for testing app performance.
