Executing appium tests on Android mobile web

Back to Appium Tutorial Index

Having set up appium, lets run our first tests. But before that start the appium and android device /  emulator as following -

navigate to appium installation, which is following on my Ubuntu -
/home/tarun/node-v0.12.2-linux-x64/bin
and start appium from command line or using Appium Desktop app
./appium
Open another command prompt and execute -
adb devices
and you should see list of devices attached as -
List of devices attached
emulator-5554    device
If you see any error message then re-verify all the steps mentioned earlier to make sure none of the step is missed

Sample JUnit project to run tests on android emulator
  • Clone the following appium project -
git@github.com:tarun3kumar/appium-tests.git
  • Import project in IDEA (or your favorite IDE) and Open AndroidEmulatorWebTest class -

  • Right click on method testMobileWebOnEmulator and click Run. This would execute test on android emulator -

Sample JUnit project to run tests on android device

Use the same project but AndroidDeviceWebTest class to run test on mobile device. Of course you need to have device setup as explained in previous steps

Distributed Load Testing with JMeter

Distributed Testing with JMeter When one JMeter client is not able to offer amount of threads required for load testing then distributed testing is used. In distributed testing - One instance of JMeter client can control number of JMeter instances and collect data from them Test plan does not need to be copied to each server, the client sends it to all servers note - JMeter will run all the threads on all the servers, hence 100 threads on 5 JMeter server would pump 500 threads in total. If many server instances are used, the client JMeter can become overloaded and so the client network connection. This has been improved in latest versions of JMeter by switching to Stripped modes, but you should always check that your client is not overloaded When Client (master) and Server (slave) nodes are on same network (no SSH required) Configure Client Node Herein client is referred as the machine controlling test execution on other JMeter nodes. This is also referred

Verify email confirmation using Selenium

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos .     Email confirmation seems to be integral part of any registration process. I came across an application which lets you provide your email address. You can follow the sign up link in you mail and then complete the registration process. Lets consider we provide GMail address for it. Now if were to use only Selenium then we would have to follow following steps - Launch GMail using Selenium; Some how search for new mail in the list of available mails; Some how click on it; Parse the mail message; Get the registration link; Follow up with registration process What do you think of an approach in which you can
