Course Objective & Scope

Mobile applications demand a distinct automation discipline due to OS fragmentation across Android and iOS, varied screen sizes, system permission prompts, app backgrounding, network drops and mixed Native/WebView screens.

This course covers the Appium 2.x modular driver and plugin architecture, setting up Android UiAutomator2 and iOS XCUITest, inspecting elements and choosing fast locators (Accessibility ID, iOS Predicate Strings, Class Chains), W3C Actions for touch and scroll gestures, switching between Native and WebView contexts, cross-platform Page Object design, and running suites on real devices and cloud device farms.

Who Should Attend?

  • QA specialists and test automation engineers testing iOS and Android applications
  • SDETs with web automation experience expanding into mobile automation with Appium 2
  • Mobile engineering teams reducing manual regression effort ahead of app store releases
  • Prerequisite: basic programming (Java, Python, C# or JS/TS) and foundational automation knowledge

Key Takeaways

  • Configure Appium 2.x, UiAutomator2 and XCUITest drivers, and platform-specific capabilities
  • Replace slow mobile XPath queries with Accessibility IDs, iOS Predicate Strings and Android UiSelectors
  • Automate swipes, dynamic list scrolling, notifications, permission prompts and deep links
  • Structure a single Page Object codebase that supports both Android and iOS builds
  • Execute mobile test suites across local emulators/simulators, real devices and cloud device farms

Curriculum

Appium 2.x Architecture, Drivers and Environment Setup
  • Appium 2.x modular design: managing drivers (UiAutomator2, XCUITest) and plugins via CLI
  • Android SDK/ADB, emulators, Xcode/Simulators and real-device provisioning essentials
  • W3C Capabilities (appium:automationName, noReset, fullReset, appPackage/bundleId)
Appium Inspector and Mobile Locator Strategies
  • Why XML source-tree traversal makes XPath slow on mobile and how to avoid it
  • Accessibility ID, Android UiSelector and iOS -ios predicate string / -ios class chain
  • Partnering with mobile developers to add consistent testID / contentDescription attributes
Mobile Gestures, Device APIs and Hybrid (WebView) Apps
  • Scrolling dynamic lists with the W3C Actions API and mobile: scroll / mobile: swipeGesture extensions
  • App backgrounding, orientation, keyboard handling, OS permissions, geolocation and Deep Links
  • Switching between NATIVE_APP and WEBVIEW contexts in hybrid, React Native and Flutter apps
Cross-Platform (Android + iOS) Automation Framework Design
  • Designing Page Objects that drive both Android and iOS from a single test scenario
  • Mobile synchronisation, disabling OS animations for stability and fast app-state reset
Parallel Execution, Device Farms and Mobile CI/CD
  • Running parallel sessions across multiple local devices/emulators with port and udid isolation
  • Integrating with cloud device farms (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, AWS Device Farm)
  • Capturing Logcat/syslog outputs, video recordings and hooking into mobile CI/Fastlane pipelines
