** Full webinar recording: https://youtu.be/aZS7HrNfyIk ** In today's Agile world, time to market is becoming increasingly shorter. There is a constant desire to release new features to keep ahead of competition. Because of this we have a shorter amount of time to test our apps -- Especially when you must account for hundreds of different combinations of platform OS’s, languages, orientations, and resolutions your mobile app supports. Listen to Automation expert Justin Ison giving this in-depth Appium webinar, where he covers the essentials, including: * Challenges: so many different devices, OS's, resolutions, languages, and so little time * Available Tools * Automation with Appium * Introduction to Applitools * Writing your first test for mobile web and native applications with Appium and Applitools * Scaling your tests with cloud test service

2. How will you test all of these?!
The Challenge!

3. And each one of these cases?
• Validate every locale / languages your app supports.
• Validate every OS version your app supports.
• Validate different screen sizes (phones, tablets, phablets etc..).
• Validate different device manufacturers.

4. You could try the manual single-threaded
approach!
Not recommend…

5. Or the manual multi-threaded
approach!
Also, not recommend…

6. Alternatively, you can hire an army of
zombie testers?!
Definitely not recommended!!!

7. Device Orientation
• Majority of people test only in portrait orientation.
• How will your apps usability and design work in
landscape?

8. • What happens when you rotate your screen?

9. Device Resolution
• Most people only test the device and resolution that is available to them.
• How will your designs look on every resolution you support?

10. Hopefully not like this…

11. Or this…

12. OS Versions
• Most people only test the device OS that is available to them.
• How will your app look and function for every OS version you support?

13. Device Language
• Majority of people test only in their native tongue.
• How will your app look and behave in different languages and locales?
• How will your designs work for languages such as Arabic or Hebrew?
• How will your designs look in languages with longer strings like Deutsch?

14. So what options do we have?!
• Test Automation with Appium & Applitools!

15. What I’ll demo…
• Getting started with Appium and Applitools for mobile web and
native apps.
• Integrating Applitools into your test framework and showing the
benefits it provides.
• Running tests locally.
• Scaling your tests in a cloud test service.

16. Install Appium Dependencies
• iOS:
• Install Xcode
• Install Command Line tools.
• Create iOS Simulator.
• Or… connect a real device.
• Enable UI Automation in General > Developer menu.
• Android:
• Install Android SDK
• Create Emulator with Intel HAXM Accelerator.
• Or… connect a real device.
• Enable developer mode with USB debugging enabled.
• Install Appium Desktop
• Install Java JDK > 8
• Click Mac and Windows for full instructions instructions.

17. Testing Responsive Design
iPhone 5 iPhone 7 iPad

18. Applitools SDK’s and Libraries
• Let’s choose Java!

19. Java Dependencies

20. Mobile Web Example

21. Start Appium Desktop

24. Native App Example

27. That great, but how do we
scale this?
• Some options:
• Local computer with multiple devices/emulator connected.
• Internal selenium device grid
• Cloud Test Services: (Just to name a few)
• Sauce Labs
• BrowserStack
• Bitbar
• Perfecto Mobile
• Firebase (Google)
• Amazon Test Cloud
• Let’s try with Sauce Labs…

28. Cloud Test Services
• By far the easiest solution would be the use a cloud service running in
parallel.
• Benefits Cloud Test Services:
• They are the present and the future of automated testing.
• Ease of setup and integration.
• Save on costs of buying mobile devices or machines.
• Provides you with excellent analytics and reporting.
• Integrates easily with cloud CI services. e.g. Travis CI.
• You expose your app to a much larger range of devices and OS’s.

29. Create a Parallel Class

32. What about Locale?
• How can we validate different languages and locales?
• Using Applitools Layout match level algorithm!
• Let's look at an example!
