Appium Philosophy

You’re testing the same app you are shipping
Write tests in any language and framework you want
Wrapped vendor-provided frameworks in WebDriver API (Webdriver Protocol)
Open source

Appium 2.0 Evolution & What's New

Appium 2.0

The main differences

Addition of Drivers & Plugin Support
CLI Support for Drivers and Plugins
No more JSONWP. Only W3C protocol.
Expose common driver and functionality. Makes it easier for anyone to write new Drivers
The core foundational modules have been moved to the 'Appium' monorepo

Appium 2.0 : Server

Server Installation

npm install -g appium

Not auto-installing any drivers or plugins

Server CLI

-ah APPIUMHOME	The path to the directory where Appium will keep installed drivers, plugins, 
	and any other metadata necessary for its operation

--use-drivers DRIVERS  A comma-separated list of installed driver names that should be active 
for this server. All drivers will be active by default.

--use-plugins PLUGINS  A comma-separated list of installed plugin names that should be active 
for this server. To activate all plugins, you can use the single string "all" as the value (e.g. --plugins=all)

Appium Drivers & Plugins

Driver CLI

appium driver list
appium driver install xcuitest
appium driver install --source=local 
	--package=your-driver /path/to/your/driver
appium driver update --installed
appium driver uninstall xcuitest

Plugin CLI

appium plugin list
appium plugin install images
appium --use-plugins=images,fake
appium plugin update 
appium plugin uninstall images

Appium Server : Advanced

Start Appium server programmatically

AppiumDriverLocalService service = AppiumDriverLocalService
       .buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder()
             .usingPort(PORT)
             .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.BASEPATH, "/wd/hub"));
service.start();

.......
driver = new AndroidDriver(service.getUrl(), uiAutomator2Options);

Starting Appium Server Programmatically With Plugins

AppiumDriverLocalService service = AppiumDriverLocalService
       .buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder()
             .usingPort(PORT)
             .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.BASEPATH, "/wd/hub")
             .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.PLUGINS, "device-farm"));
service.start();

.......
driver = new AndroidDriver(service.getUrl(), uiAutomator2Options);

Platform-wise desired capabilities

                .setDeviceName("Android Emulator")
                .setAutomationName(AutomationName.ANDROID_UIAUTOMATOR2)
                .setApp(System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/VodQA.apk");
          
driver = new AndroidDriver(service.getUrl(), uiAutomator2Options);
wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(30));

PointerInput finger = new PointerInput(PointerInput.Kind.TOUCH, "finger");
Sequence sequence = new Sequence(finger, 1);
sequence.addAction(finger.createPointerMove(ofMillis(0),
           PointerInput.Origin.viewport(), source.x, source.y));
sequence.addAction(finger.createPointerDown(PointerInput.MouseButton.MIDDLE.asArg()));
sequence.addAction(new Pause(finger, ofMillis(600)));
sequence.addAction(finger.createPointerMove(ofMillis(600),
           PointerInput.Origin.viewport(), source.x + 400, source.y));

Android - Espresso

Provides automatic synchronization of test actions with UI
Powerful Matchers available
Access to App internals - WebViews

File appDir = new File("src/test/java/io/appium/java_client");
File app = new File(appDir, "ApiDemos-debug.apk");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("automationName", AutomationName.ESPRESSO);

Android Espresso Locator Strategy

Data Matcher

String selector = new Json().toJson(ImmutableMap.of(
        "name", "hasEntry",
        "args", ImmutableList.of("title", "Sweep")));

driver.findElement(MobileBy.androidDataMatcher(selector)).click();

Predicates

driver.findElementByIosNsPredicate("name like 'Answer'")

class chain

Appium Advanced usecases

Parallel Test Execution

Android	iOS
UDID - Device ID	UDID - Real device/SimID
chromedriverport - incase of webviews or chrome	wdalocalport - unique port no as WDA defaults to 8100
systemPort - If you are using UIA2 mode, set a different system port for each Appium instance set with systemPort capability since sometimes there can be a port conflict if different ports aren't used, such as in this issue.(https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/7745)	deviceName - Simulator Name (sim only) platformVersion -Simulator OS version (sim only)

Refer: http://appium.io/docs/en/advanced-concepts/parallel-tests/

Device Farm Plugin

appium plugin install --source=npm appium-device-farm
appium --use-plugins=device-farm

Automatically detects connected Android, iOS Simulators, and Real devices before session creation and maintains it in the device pool.
Dynamically allocates a free device from the device pool while creating a driver session.
Updates the device pool with a new device during test execution.
Queues the test cases when no free device is available for session creation.
Allocates random ports for parallel execution.

Automating Hybrid Apps - Tips & Tricks

Set<String> contextNames = driver.getContextHandles();
for (String contextName : contextNames) {
    System.out.println(contextName); //prints out something like NATIVE_APP \n WEBVIEW_1
}
driver.context(contextNames.toArray()[1]); // set context to WEBVIEW_1

//do some web testing
String myText = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".green_button")).click();

driver.context("NATIVE_APP");

Automating Geo Location

driver.setLocation(new Location(49, 123, 10));

SMS Simulation (Android)

driver.sendSMS("555-555-5555", "Your message here!");

Video Recording API

driver.startRecordingScreen();
driver.startRecordingScreen(new AndroidStartScreenRecordingOptions(...));

driver.stopRecordingScreen();
driver.stopRecordingScreen(new BaseStopScreenRecordingOptions(....));

Seeding Photos on Android & iOS Simulators

driver.pushFile("/mnt/sdcard/Pictures/myPhoto.jpg", 
	"/path/to/photo/locally/myPhoto.jpg");

Appium 2.0 for users

What you should do next?

Read the documentation, understand the drivers and plugins way of working.
Update client frameworks to the latest
Validate whether they use W3C protocol
The appium:automationName capability will be required
Test your current scripts with 'appium@next' to make sure they are ready for an upgrade to Appium 2.0
Drivers and plugins must be installed
