Mobile Automation With Appium [SOLD OUT]
Date: Monday 14 November 2016 • Time: 09:00–17:00 • Venue: The Hatton, Farringdon
At this workshop you will learn how to get started with automating Android with Appium. We’ll learn how to capture elements in Ruby using irb (interactive Ruby), writing a test with rspec. Once we have our tests established, we’ll then go into setting up a mobile device grid. Running the tests in parallel, distributed, and capturing critical report data (logs, screenshots, and video). We will also run some examples against a cloud testing service.
