Android application test automation

Test automation for mobile applications 

In the mobile application development, testing plays the major role to ensure the quality.  The test automation process helps to speed up the testing process while doing the more regressions.
In this article, we are going to see about the Appium test framework and how it is used to automate the Android application testing.

What is Appium?

Appium is an open-source framework that allows QAs to conduct automated app testing on different platforms like Android, iOS, and Windows. Appium frameworks allows to create a test scripts in different programming languages like Java,C,C#.

Architecture

Appium is a node.js webserver it contains the implementation of Selenium webdriver and REST API.

Appium client libraries

Appium provides the client libraries in different programming languages. These client libraries are used in the test scripts to fire the test. 

Appium client library communicates with the Appium server through JSON Wire Protocol and submit the test requirements to Appium server. Appium server communicate the test request to vendor-provided frameworks (Android:  UIAutomator, IOS: XCUI Test) and send back the response to Appium client libraries.

On next step

In this blog, we just had an introduction about Appium framework and its architecture. In the next blog, we will see about Appium installation and some basic testing on Android application.

Implementing Turn-by-Turn Navigation with the GraphHopper Routing Engine

 Introduction to Turn-by-Turn Navigation Turn-by-turn navigation is a feature that guides users through a journey step-by-step using voice or visual prompts. It is typically found in GPS navigation apps and can be used for driving, walking, and biking. When it comes to the actual implementation, turn-by-turn navigation utilizes several technologies such as GPS, maps, and routing algorithms to guide users along the best route to their destination. In this article, we will explore the implementation of turn-by-turn navigation using the GraphHopper library and OpenStreetMap data. Understanding the GraphHopper Routing Engine GraphHopper Routing Engine is an open-source routing library that allows developers to calculate efficient routes for various transportation modes, such as cars, bikes, and walking. It utilizes OpenStreetMap data to generate a routing graph, which is then used to calculate the fastest or shortest routes between two points. GraphHopper is written in Java and can be ...

Test Driven Development

What is Test Driven Development (TDD)? TDD is a process of writing the test code before writing the functional code. In the TDD the tests are developed even before implementing the feature. At the first level the test will fail because we are not yet implemented the functional code. To make the test pass, we need to implement the functional code. TDD workflow The TDD follows the flow of "Red, Green, Refactor"     Identify the smallest behavior of the application and add the test     The test may fail     Write the functional code to make the test pass     Run the test case and make sure the tests pass     Refactor the code, if required     Repeat the process for the complete application behaviors Flow diagram for Test Driven Development (TDD)   Advantage of TDD     Early bug identification     Good understanding of code     Be...
