Automation testing on ios platform using appiumAmbreen Khan
Appium is an open source test automation framework for testing native, hybrid and mobile web applications across platforms like iOS, Android and Windows. It allows writing tests using the same WebDriver API that can be reused across platforms. Appium uses vendor-provided frameworks like XCUITest for iOS automation. XCUITest is different from the older UIAutomation framework in features supported and changes to element locators. When testing on real iOS devices, a developer account and certificates are required to code sign apps. Tests need to be updated to use different locators like accessibility ID instead of XPath due to performance issues and API changes in XCUITest.
Different testing requirements that mobile applications have, challenges and solutions Challenges 1. Complex mobile testing matrix, Expensive test environment 2. Repetitive testing 3. Mobile testing for devices located at various locations Solutions: • Risk Based Testing approach • Using Mobile device emulators • Use of Automation tools • Leveraging external services
Sitam Jana presents on mobile automation. The document discusses challenges in mobile testing like compatibility and regression testing. It then covers mobile automation tools like Appium, Robotium and MonkeyRunner that can automate testing on Android and iOS. The last sections provide steps to set up the environment and demonstrate MonkeyRunner through sample code and configuration in Eclipse.

Cypress is an e2e testing tool that allows for testing web applications directly in the browser. It provides native access to the browser without using Selenium, making tasks like taking screenshots and recording videos possible. Some limitations are that it only supports single-page applications and one browser tab at a time. Cypress prioritizes developer experience through features like fast testing, intuitive debugging, and integration with continuous integration systems and dashboards. Many large companies have adopted Cypress for their e2e testing needs.
This document outlines an introduction to API testing using Postman. It discusses:
1. What API testing is and different types like unit, end-to-end, and contract testing
2. How to send requests and inspect responses in Postman
3. Writing custom tests using snippets and variables to extract data between requests
4. Saving and running tests as collections
5. Additional resources like the Postman community forum and examples for writing tests
Selenium Grid allows running automated tests across different browsers, operating systems, and machines. It works on a master-slave architecture with a hub that distributes tests to node machines. This allows reducing test execution time by running tests in parallel on multiple machines. Selenium Grid supports cross-browser testing and running tests with different data sets on multiple browser instances simultaneously. Setting up a hub is done by running a Java command, and nodes register with the hub using a URL from the hub terminal output. Jenkins can also be configured as a hub to integrate Selenium Grid into a CI/CD pipeline.
Native automation tooling for mobile application testing.pptxMesut Günes
The document discusses native and non-native mobile automation tools. Native tools like Espresso and XCUITest work directly within a mobile app's codebase and development framework, allowing direct access to app objects. Non-native tools like Appium and Calabash interact with apps through a server, relying on instrumentation libraries. Native tools have benefits like better performance and object handling since they are part of the app, while non-native tools allow black-box testing but with slower server-based interactions. The document advocates using native tools and building cross-functional teams for more efficient test automation.
Mobile is booming, and that's a good thing! But with multiple operating systems and tens of thousands of devices on the market, how can you ensure your app delights your users everywhere, every time, at every turn?
Does your functional automation really add value?Anand Bagmar
We all know that automation is one of the key enablers for those on the CI-CD journey.
Most teams are:
��� implementing automation
• talking about its benefits
• up-skilling themselves
• talking about tooling
• etc.
In my experience, unfortunately most of the functional automation that is built is:
• not optimal
• not fit-for-purpose
• does not run fast enough
• gives inconsistent feedback, hence unreliable
Hence, for the amount of effort invested in implementing automation, are you really getting the value from this activity?
In this talk, we will discuss these challenges and why it would lead to poor ROI of automation. More importantly, we will discuss the following techniques to make automation valuable:
• know the objective for the automation framework
• establish criteria for tests to be automated
• design your framework with proper abstraction layers
• develop using appropriate design patterns
This document outlines an agenda for a Selenium workshop. It covers topics like getting started with Selenium, implementing page object models and design patterns, handling test data, using assertions, and responsive web design testing. Exercises are provided to demonstrate concepts like building page objects, running tests across browsers, and using test data. The goal is to help students learn Selenium concepts and address common automation challenges.
Visual Validation - The missing tip of the automation pyramid @AgileIndia2020Anand Bagmar
https://confengine.com/agile-india-2020/proposal/11065/visual-validation-the-missing-tip-of-the-automation-pyramid
The top of the pyramid is our UI / end-2-end functional tests - which simulate end-user behavior and interactions with the product-under test.
While Automation helps validate functionality of your product, aspects of UX validations can only be seen and captured by the human eye and is hence mostly a manual activity. This is an area where AI & ML can truly help.
With everyone wanting to be Agile, make quick releases, the look & feel / UX validation, which is a slow, and error-prone activity, quickly becomes a huge bottleneck. In addition, with any UX related issues propping up cause huge brand-value and revenue loss, may lead to social-trolling and worse - dilute your user-base.
In this session, using numerous examples, we will explore:
Why Automated Visual Validation is essential to be part of your Test Strategy
Potential solutions / options for Automated Visual Testing, with pros & cons of each
How an AI-powered tool, Applitools Eyes, can solve this problem.
Streamlining End-to-End Testing Automation with Azure DevOps Build & Release Pipelines
Automating end-to-end (e2e) test for Android and iOS native apps, and web apps, within Azure build and release pipelines, poses several challenges. This session dives into the key challenges and the repeatable solutions implemented across multiple teams at a leading Indian telecom disruptor, renowned for its affordable 4G/5G services, digital platforms, and broadband connectivity.
Challenge #1. Ensuring Test Environment Consistency: Establishing a standardized test execution environment across hundreds of Azure DevOps agents is crucial for achieving dependable testing results. This uniformity must seamlessly span from Build pipelines to various stages of the Release pipeline.
Challenge #2. Coordinated Test Execution Across Environments: Executing distinct subsets of tests using the same automation framework across diverse environments, such as the build pipeline and specific stages of the Release Pipeline, demands flexible and cohesive approaches.
Challenge #3. Testing on Linux-based Azure DevOps Agents: Conducting tests, particularly for web and native apps, on Azure DevOps Linux agents lacking browser or device connectivity presents specific challenges in attaining thorough testing coverage.
This session delves into how these challenges were addressed through:
1. Automate the setup of essential dependencies to ensure a consistent testing environment.
2. Create standardized templates for executing API tests, API workflow tests, and end-to-end tests in the Build pipeline, streamlining the testing process.
3. Implement task groups in Release pipeline stages to facilitate the execution of tests, ensuring consistency and efficiency across deployment phases.
4. Deploy browsers within Docker containers for web application testing, enhancing portability and scalability of testing environments.
5. Leverage diverse device farms dedicated to Android, iOS, and browser testing to cover a wide range of platforms and devices.
6. Integrate AI technology, such as Applitools Visual AI and Ultrafast Grid, to automate test execution and validation, improving accuracy and efficiency.
7. Utilize AI/ML-powered central test automation reporting server through platforms like reportportal.io, providing consolidated and real-time insights into test performance and issues.
These solutions not only facilitate comprehensive testing across platforms but also promote the principles of shift-left testing, enabling early feedback, implementing quality gates, and ensuring repeatability. By adopting these techniques, teams can effectively automate and execute tests, accelerating software delivery while upholding high-quality standards across Android, iOS, and web applications.

Change Tyres In A Moving Car - Make Functional Test Automation Effective KeynoteAnand Bagmar
https://confengine.com/conferences/selenium-conf-2022/proposal/17141/changing-tyres-in-a-moving-car-making-functional-test-automation-effective
In my experience, I have seen teams struggle with more than one, and in many cases, all of the above statements.
On retrospection, I have realized, that most of these challenges are because of a combination of the following issues:
Lack of holistic vision, understanding, skills, and capabilities for taking on this seemingly easy activity of functional test automation
Lack of time for design, implementation, and maintenance of the automated test code
In this session, I will share, with examples, the features & capabilities that are not used right in Test Automation implementation resulting in you answering “NO” to the above statements. These are anti-patterns of functional automation implementation and have a negative impact on the quality of feedback from your automated tests.
More importantly, I will share approaches and solutions of how you can avoid these anti-patterns and evolve to answer “YES” to each of the above statements.
It is easy to measure code coverage when running unit tests.
However, very frequently the following questions come up:
- How can we measure API test coverage and e2e / UI test coverage?
- Does e2e / UI test coverage add value?
- If not, what other data can we look at to know if the e2e tests have good coverage?
This session is about understanding the above questions, and finding solutions for the same.
Everyone wants to make quick releases, but the look-and-feel UX validation is a manual, slow, and error-prone activity. Any UX-related issues propping up cause huge brand-value and revenue loss, may lead to social-trolling, and, even worse, dilute your user base. This is an area where AI & ML can help. In this hands-on workshop, using examples, we will explore: the importance of automated visual validation how an AI-powered tool, Applitools Visual AI, can solve this problem. Integrate Applitools Visual AI in your Selenium-Java automation and learn by practice: The different AI algorithms various Applitools capabilities and features scale your automation using the Applitools Ultrafast Grid.
Visual Validation - The missing tip of the automation pyramid @GoT2022Anand Bagmar
The document discusses visual validation testing as a missing piece of the automation testing pyramid. Visual testing is important but challenging as it is typically done manually, which is tedious, error-prone, and difficult to scale. Automating visual testing can help by taking screenshots of expected user interfaces and comparing them to actual screenshots. However, automating also poses challenges around false positives/negatives, maintaining baselines, and accounting for product changes. The document promotes using artificial intelligence in visual test automation to help address these challenges and advocates for including visual testing in an organization's overall quality and automation strategy.
Unlocking the Power of ChatGPT and AI in Testing - NextSteps, presented by Ap...Applitools
The document discusses AI tools for software testing such as ChatGPT, Github Copilot, and Applitools Visual AI. It provides an overview of each tool and how they can help with testing tasks like test automation, debugging, and handling dynamic content. The document also covers potential challenges with AI like data privacy issues and tools having superficial knowledge. It emphasizes that AI should be used as an assistance to humans rather than replacing them and that finding the right balance and application of tools is important.
Build the Right Regression Suite with Behavior-Driven TestingTechWell
Manual functional testing is a slow, tedious, and error prone process. As we continue to incrementally build software, the corresponding regression test suite continues to grow. Rarely is time allotted to consolidate and keep these test cases in sync with the product under development. If these test cases are used as the basis for automation, the resulting suite is composed of very granular tests that are often quite brittle in nature. Using a case study, Anand Bagmar describes how behavior-driven testing (BDT) can be applied to identify the right type of test cases for manual and automated regression testing. Learn how the BDT technique can be applied in your context and domain, regardless of the tools and technologies used in your project and organization.
Scaffolding a legacy app with BDD scenarios using SpecFlow/Cucumber (BDD Lond...Gáspár Nagy
Do you remember your childhood when your mom or an older story teller pronounced the most interesting words in the world? “Once upon a time…” Let me be now your story teller, listen to my story about a legacy app, a painful problem, the search for the solution and the lucky outcome. No, no, this is not the story about a new green field project where everything is so clear. However, even in this story there is a master builder, who shows the developers how to scaffold the legacy app with BDD scenarios using SpecFlow or Cucumber and everything will be all right in the end. Let me tell you about different strategies, collaboration and testing patterns that can be followed in such a renovation-like situation. So, are you ready?... “Once upon a time there was a company where…” To be continued at my session

The document provides instructions on getting started with teswiz and links to its GitHub page.
Visual Validation - The Missing Tip of the Automation PyramidAnand Bagmar
The Test Automation Pyramid is not a new concept. The top of the pyramid is our UI / end-2-end functional tests - which should cover the breadth of the product.
What the functional tests cannot capture though, is the aspects of UX validations that can only be seen and in some cases, captured by the human eye. This is where the new buzzwords of AI & ML can truly help.
In this session, we will explore why Visual Validation is an important cog in the wheel of Test Automation and also different tools and techniques that can help achieve this. We will also see a demo of Applitools Eyes - and how it can be a good option to close this gap in automation!
This document discusses client-side performance testing. It describes measuring client-side performance through synthetic monitoring tools like WebPageTest.org, SiteSpeed.io and ShowSlow which test page load speeds, and real user monitoring through Akamai RUM, Monitis RUM and Google Analytics. WebPageTest.org is demonstrated in more detail, showing how to use it to test pages and understand key metrics like time to first byte, time to start render and full page loaded time. Private instances and automation of WebPageTest is also covered. YSlow and Google PageSpeed are also mentioned as alternatives for measuring client performance.
Slides from the workshop I conducted on "Client-side Performance Testing".
Abstract of the workshop:
In this workshop, we will see the different dimensions of Performance Testing and Performance Engineering, and focus on Client-side Performance Testing.
Before we get to doing some Client-side Performance Testing activities, we will first understand how to look at client-side performance, and putting that in the context of the product under test. We will see, using a case study, the impact of caching on performance, the good & the bad! We will then experiment with some tools like WebPageTest and Page Speed to understand how to measure client-side performance.
Lastly - just understanding the performance of the product is not sufficient. We will look at how to automate the testing for this activity - using WebPageTest (private instance setup), and experiment with yslow - as a low-cost, programatic alternative to WebPageTest.
What is an Automation Framework ? using Java- Cucumber.
Automation Framework needs are based on requirements of the test suite and project. So we cant have generic silver bullet framework. How ever use common tools, patterns and Utils to make framework robust
In this talk, we will talk about, and see examples of various types of patterns you can use for:
- Build your Test Automation Framework
- Test Data Management
- Locators / IDs (for finding / interacting with elements in the browser / app)
Using these patterns you will be able to build a good framework, that will help keep your tests running fast, and reliably in your CI / CD setup!
Slides from my talk on "Rewrite Vs Refactor" given at Agile India 2021. https://confengine.com/conferences/agile-india-2021/proposal/15495/rewrite-vs-refactor
In this session, I will share various examples and experiences and as a result of being in such situations, the factors I looked at when enhancing the code-base to decide - should I refactor or rewrite the code-under-consideration to be able to move forward faster, while moving towards the long-term vision.
Though I will focus on various examples of Test Automation, this session is applicable for any role that writes / maintains code of any nature.

Test Data - Food for your Test Automation FrameworkAnand Bagmar
Slides from my talk in Selenium Conference 2016, Bangalore
Blog post: http://essenceoftesting.blogspot.com/2016/06/test-data-food-for-test-automation.html
Abstract:
Building a Test Automation Framework is easy - there are so many resources / guides / blogs / etc. available to help you get started and help solve the issues you get along the journey.
Teams already building 1000s of tests of various types - UI, web service-based, integration, unit, etc. is a proof of that.
However, building a "good" Test Automation Framework is not very easy. There are a lot of principles and practices you need to use, in the right context, with a good set of skills required to make the Test Automation Framework maintainable, scalable and reusable.
In this talk, we will focus on one of the critical aspects and patterns in building the Test Automation framework - Test Data!
We will look at different data patterns as options and techniques how to create, manage, use, reuse Test Data in a way to keep the tests running in an reliable and deterministic way. We will also discuss what questions to ask, what things to think about in selecting your approach for Test Data!
This discussion will be applicable for any type of Test Automation (web / mobile / desktop), but, we will focus primarily on UI automation frameworks, ex. using Selenium.
Video & blog post will be linked soon!
Test Automation - Principles and PracticesAnand Bagmar
This document discusses principles and practices for test automation. It covers topics like different levels of testing from unit to integration to UI, the importance of testing non-functional requirements, using a test pyramid approach with more unit and component tests than UI tests. It also discusses practices like continuous integration, test automation framework design considerations, sample framework architectures, and page object patterns. The overall goal is to provide guidance on building quality into software through effective test automation practices.
The What, Why and How of (Web) Analytics Testing (Web, IoT, Big Data)Anand Bagmar
Learning Objectives:
The most used and heard about buzz words in the Software Industry today are … IoT and Big Data!
With IoT, with a creative mindset looking for opportunities and ways to add value, the possibilities are infinite. With each such opportunity, there is a huge volume of data being generated - which if analyzed and used correctly, can feed into creating more opportunities and increased value propositions.
There are 2 types of analysis that one needs to think about.
1. How is the end-user interacting with the product? This will give some level of understanding into how to re-position and focus on the true value add features for the product.
2. With the huge volume of data being generated by the end-user interactions, and the data being captured by all devices in the food-chain of the offering, it is important to identify patterns from what has happened, and find out new product / value opportunities based on usage patterns.
Learn what is Web Analytics, why is it important, and see some techniques how you can test it manually and and also automate that validation.
Integration Testing in Enterprises using TaaSAnand Bagmar
Typically in organizations, there are multiple projects / products. These products may be of implemented using tech-stacks over many years. Yet - they interact with each other in some way. To manage the complexity around Test Automation, many organizations prefer to have a common Test Automation solution across these products in an effort to build, standardize and maintain the framework.
However, this is not a good idea! With this approach one potentially ends up having to compromise on the quality of automation that can be done for each product, limited by the toolset.
The better approach would be to use the tools and technologies that are "right" for each product. This does have other disadvantages, but you would ensure each product is well tested! The only missing piece that remains is that these different products talk with each other. You need to test the integration between them in an automated way to verify all is well.
"TaaS" is an open-source product solution that allows you do achieve the "correct" way of doing integration testing across a variety of products via Test Automation.
Example:
For one set of products, Selenium-based toolset may be the right choice, where as for legacy reasons, QTP may be used for some other product. With TaaS - you will be able to automate the Integration Testing between these products, by re-using the tests already implemented in the individual product suites.

Are you interested in dipping your toes in the cloud native observability waters, but as an engineer you are not sure where to get started with tracing problems through your microservices and application landscapes on Kubernetes? Then this is the session for you, where we take you on your first steps in an active open-source project that offers a buffet of languages, challenges, and opportunities for getting started with telemetry data.
The project is called openTelemetry, but before diving into the specifics, we’ll start with de-mystifying key concepts and terms such as observability, telemetry, instrumentation, cardinality, percentile to lay a foundation. After understanding the nuts and bolts of observability and distributed traces, we’ll explore the openTelemetry community; its Special Interest Groups (SIGs), repositories, and how to become not only an end-user, but possibly a contributor.We will wrap up with an overview of the components in this project, such as the Collector, the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP), its APIs, and its SDKs.
Attendees will leave with an understanding of key observability concepts, become grounded in distributed tracing terminology, be aware of the components of openTelemetry, and know how to take their first steps to an open-source contribution!
Key Takeaways: Open source, vendor neutral instrumentation is an exciting new reality as the industry standardizes on openTelemetry for observability. OpenTelemetry is on a mission to enable effective observability by making high-quality, portable telemetry ubiquitous. The world of observability and monitoring today has a steep learning curve and in order to achieve ubiquity, the project would benefit from growing our contributor community.

Coordinate Systems in FME 101 - Webinar SlidesSafe Software
If you’ve ever had to analyze a map or GPS data, chances are you’ve encountered and even worked with coordinate systems. As historical data continually updates through GPS, understanding coordinate systems is increasingly crucial. However, not everyone knows why they exist or how to effectively use them for data-driven insights.
During this webinar, you’ll learn exactly what coordinate systems are and how you can use FME to maintain and transform your data’s coordinate systems in an easy-to-digest way, accurately representing the geographical space that it exists within. During this webinar, you will have the chance to:
- Enhance Your Understanding: Gain a clear overview of what coordinate systems are and their value
- Learn Practical Applications: Why we need datams and projections, plus units between coordinate systems
- Maximize with FME: Understand how FME handles coordinate systems, including a brief summary of the 3 main reprojectors

Fluttercon 2024: Showing that you care about security - OpenSSF Scorecards fo...Chris Swan
Have you noticed the OpenSSF Scorecard badges on the official Dart and Flutter repos? It's Google's way of showing that they care about security. Practices such as pinning dependencies, branch protection, required reviews, continuous integration tests etc. are measured to provide a score and accompanying badge.
You can do the same for your projects, and this presentation will show you how, with an emphasis on the unique challenges that come up when working with Dart and Flutter.
The session will provide a walkthrough of the steps involved in securing a first repository, and then what it takes to repeat that process across an organization with multiple repos. It will also look at the ongoing maintenance involved once scorecards have been implemented, and how aspects of that maintenance can be better automated to minimize toil.

Kief Morris rethinks the infrastructure code delivery lifecycle, advocating for a shift towards composable infrastructure systems. We should shift to designing around deployable components rather than code modules, use more useful levels of abstraction, and drive design and deployment from applications rather than bottom-up, monolithic architecture and delivery.

Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
** Episode Overview **
In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss:
⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality?
⦿ Why is patent quality important?
⦿ How to balance quality and budget
⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise
⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications

How does Appium works?
@BagmarAnand
https://appiumpro.com/editions/89-understanding-appium-drivers-and-how-to-choose-which-one-to-use
• You write your tests using one of Appium client libraries
• Your tests calls the Webdriver API
• The Webdriver sends the request in form of json via http request to
the Appium server.
• The Appium server, under the hood invokes vendor specific
mechanisms to execute the test commands
• The client (devices or emulators) responds back to Appium server
• Appium server logs the results in console.

Commonly used Design Patterns
@BagmarAnand
51. @BagmarAnand
• Get information from the page
• Do actions on the page
• Page Objects cannot differentiate between right or wrong!
• No assertions in the Page Object
Page-Object Model
@BagmarAnand
52. @BagmarAnand
• The page object will contain the representation of the page, and the services the
page provides via methods
• Single source for the services or operations offered by the page
• Clean separation between test code and page specific code
• Page objects themselves should never make verifications or assertions
• “Page Component Objects” that represent discrete chunks of the page and can be
included in page objects -> Composite Pattern
• https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/en/guidelines_and_recommendations/page_objec
t_models/
Page-Object Model
@BagmarAnand
53. @BagmarAnand
• Test intent gets polluted
• Duplication of Test intent & implementation
• Intent becomes Imperative
• Maintenance challenges
• Scaling challenges
Limitations of Page-Object Pattern
@BagmarAnand
54. @BagmarAnand
• Test speaks the “business” language
• Test orchestrates business operations
• Business operations orchestrate other business operations & page objects
• Assertions in business operations
• Declarative style of writing the test
• Clear intent
• Executable business requirements / documentation
• Great resource for onboarding new team members
Business-Layer Page-Object Pattern
@BagmarAnand
57. @BagmarAnand
• Data is complex
• Needs to mimic ‘real’ data
• Needs to be unique
• Data can be nested
• Though specified as static, may need to be Dynamic
• Data can be shared and reused
Characteristics of Test Data
@BagmarAnand
58. @BagmarAnand
• In Test implementation
• In Test specification / intent
• In code … separate data structures / classes / etc.
• External files
Different ways to specify Test Data
@BagmarAnand
60. @BagmarAnand
• Usable
• Easy to specify
• Easy to read and consume (by test implementation)
• Ability to override specified data, easily
Criteria for selecting Test Data file format
@BagmarAnand
61. @BagmarAnand
• Consistent way to specify test data
• Read the data as Business Entities
• Override as appropriate
• Create DSL to giving meaning to data
• Implement Test Data Entity Utilities – ex: Build / Equals /
Copy / Find / etc.
Tips for implementing Test Data Strategy
@BagmarAnand
65. @BagmarAnand
• Intent of executed test is seen clearly
• Includes logs / screenshots / video of test execution
