I've been using Screenplay for a couple of web projects now. My next project is going to be testing iOS and Android. Wondering if there is any support for Screenplay with Appium or if anyone has attempted it?
Lots of people use Serenity with Appium. There is one user's POC available here: https://github.com/vikramvi/AppiumSerenityPOC

Can I test flutter app (for example in apk) using WebdriverIO?
I saw there is a flutter driver for Appium. Is it supported with WebriverIO as well? How is it handled?
Yes you can. You have to use Appium Automation to interact with your Flutter mobile app.
Setup your own WebdriverIO Appium project, or start from a featured boilerplate, as such.
Integrate the appium-flutter-driver into your project and start using it inside your test cases.
LE: Alternatively, you can try SauceLab's Appium-Flutter-Driver implementation using WebdriverIO. See it here.
You can find multiple examples online for configurations. A simple Google search even gives you a full video tutorial on how to setup everything.
As per project requirement, need to do automation testing on the Reactnative app for Android/iOS platforms. I have seen many frameworks available such as appium, Cavy, Detox.
Need help in the selection of framework for reactnative app testing.
Have appium automation(with Java) experience for Android application.
I'm currently working on developing and maintaining Cavy, so if you have any particular questions regarding Cavy as a solution, I'd be happy to help. Just pop any issues/questions on the GitHub issue tracker.
We're in the process of moving all our documentation to our new site, but it does include a comparison with Detox in the FAQs that you may find useful :)
I want to learn how to test mobile games using Appium, so i found it could be done using Image Recognition.
I found this https://bitbar.com/appium-tip-27-using-appium-for-mobile-game-testing/
I'm truly stuck in it
couldn't understand what i should do or add in Eclipse to test mobile games using Appium.
If anyone know how to test mobile game using Appium rather than Image Recognition please tell me.
Please, if any one have any tutorial or a clear steps of mobile game testing automation tell me.
Appium is not a good option (unless you are ok with image recognition approach) to test mobile games. Appium is using native test frameworks like UIAutomator, Espresso (Android) and XCUITest (iOS), that are basically implemented to test apps build with native SDK
Mobile games are mostly build with engines like Unreal, Unity, Corona ,etc. that have no relation to native SDK and thus cannot be tested with native test frameworks without additional tweaks.
Basically following issues to be addressed and add support for:
find elements
check action occurring in game
check UI rendered
properly
There are some projects where engineers are trying to use Appium with some additional ports, e.g. Unity-Appium, but there is definitely nothing like Appium or Selenium that you can take and use like silver bullet.
Check the engine your game is based on and search for possible test frameworks.
I am new in Automating the apps for testing Android and i like to advance to this level... I have researched for Appium and Calabash... but knowing the difference pretty complicated.. There are my questions:
1: For Calabash, do we need the source code, i mean can i have APK and give test cases and so on? or do I NEED the source code even if im using the elements from app?
2: I heard i can use the Appium with cucumber, and same question do i need source code for that?
I have researched about it and all i get is for Apple apps... but nothing much for android...
You don't need source code. All you need is apk file, packageName and ActivityName to launch the app.
In Appium framework, all you need is app file (for android it will be simply .apk file).
Source code will be never needed, all elements from UI that you would like to interact with, can be simply get from Appium Inspector.
For both calabash and Appium you don't need to source code. you can automate application using apk file.
Yes you can use Appium with cucumber.
To find object locators of application use calabash console and Android UI Viewer, Appium GUI.
Please suggest the recommended open source tools for mobile automation testing which supports ios and android?
For Android I would recommend
UI automator framework and Robotium
I recommend Monkeytalk. Try it-
http://www.gorillalogic.com/monkeytalk
It has very good online documentation and tutorials.
I would recommend to use appium: http://appium.io/ which is open source, cross-platform test automation tool for native, hybrid and mobile web apps
Selenium webdriver is good for Android as well as iphone.
On iphone it works slowly but accurate result.
Appium is really coming up in these days to capture Android and IPhone mobile automation market though it has some limitation for Android automation like support for Toast messages is missing etc.
Robotium can be a good choice for Android automation as it comes with a flexible API with a large number of utility methods included inside.
If you looking to automation Android or IPhone Web applications, Selenium Android Driver and IPhone driver can be a good choice.
Today you have plenty of approaches, you can use Appium as everyone said, here you have the advantage that is similar to Selenium and same code can run for Android and iOS. It's black box testing and it's slow, 8 times more slow than native approaches.
So, you have native approaches, Espresso for Android and XcuiTest for iOS. This approaches are faster that Appium and are white or grey box testing. The disadvantage is that you need to code Java/Kotlin and Swift for the tests and maybe you testers have no skills in this languages but developers can help.
