by Pradeep Bishnoi (speaking)

Section

Technical level
Beginner

Objective

Learn how to write the Test Automation code for your Mobile Apps [ iPhone / Android ] with ease using Appium & Python (Selenium Webdriver bindings).

Description

We will be using an Open Source tool - Appium
https://github.com/appium/appium to see how the Mobile Apps testing can be automated when used with Python.

  • Why Mobile Apps Test Automation is needed?
  • Who should do it?
  • Do i need to learn any new programming language?
  • Benefits over other Mobile Automation tool.
  • Show me the code - using Python Webdriver binding
  • If time permits, a live demo [or recorded] will be shown.

NOTE :

  • Appium is nothing but extension to Selenium Webdriver for Native Mobile Apps.
  • People familiar with Selenium would find it cake-walk to learn.

Requirements

  • Would be good, if we can have this session after "Selenium Workshop".
  • Know-how of Selenium Webdriver would be helpful as Appium tool itself relies on Webdriver & takes that concept forward for Mobile App testing.
