Appium automation test foundation - 12 Introduction to appium automated testing framework

What we said earlier Android Environment building and adb All commands are prepared for the establishment of mobile terminal automatic test environment .

1、 Mainstream mobile terminals ⾃ Dynamic ⼯ have

（1）Robotium

1. ⽀ Holding language ⾔：Java
2. only ⽀ a Android System
3. No ⽀ Spanning stress ⽤

（2）Macaca

1. ⽀ Holding language ⾔：Java,Python,Node.js
2. ⽀ a Android and iOS System
3. ⽀ Spanning stress ⽤

（3）Appium

1. ⽀ Holding language ⾔：Java,C#,Python,php,perl,ruby,Node.js
2. ⽀ a Android and iOS System
3. ⽀ Spanning stress ⽤

2、⾃ Dynamic test ⼯ Selective concerns

1. whether ⽀ a native,webview.
2. whether ⽀ Hold on to get toast.
3. whether ⽀ Spanning stress ⽤.

explain
（1）native： Express APP Native PAGE .

• Use Android/IOS Pages written in supported languages .
  Android yes Java Language .
  IOS yes Object-C Language .
• advantage ： The page opens fast .
• shortcoming ： Updating is complicated .
  When you modify the native page , If it needs to be republished , It needs to be re released to the application market , No matter what app What's changed , Even a little native page , All need to be re released . Application market platform audit is required , The audit will take some time .
  In terms of users , Updates require users to upgrade or download again app.

（2）webview： The simple understanding is app Medium H5 page .

• Pages written using front-end technology .
• advantage ： Easy to update .
  Make changes , There is no need to republish the application market ,webview The page can be updated on our own server .
• shortcoming ： Slow opening speed , Many elements of the page need to be loaded , Such as js,css etc. .

（3）toast： Is a label in the page .

• toast The appearance of
  For example, I am in Android Open the file manager in the virtual machine , Click the back button and there will be a line of prompt “ Click again to exit .”, Here's the picture ：

This style of prompt is called toast.

• toast It's not a pop-up window , Pop up the window in the page. If you don't operate it, it will always exist , and toast The default time disappears automatically .

Add

• Most of us now app page , It's all by native Page and webview Page mix , Existing native pages , Also have H5 page .
• stay app Distinguish between native pages or H5 The basic method of the page （ Not necessarily accurate ）, There is no progress bar when opening the native page , open H5 Your page has a progress bar .

3、APPium brief introduction

1. Officer, ⽹：www.appium.io, from SauceLab Companies to develop .
2. Appium By nodejs Of express It's written in the frame Http Server,Appium send ⽤WebDriver Of json wire agreement （ The protocol can support multiple languages ）, To drive Apple Systematic UIAutomation library 、Android Systematic UIAutomator frame .
   Appium Yes IOS The support of the system benefits from Dan Cuellar’s about IOS Research on Automation .
   Appium It is also integrated. Selendroid, To support the old android edition .
3. Appium Support Selenium WebDriver All supported languages , Such as Java、Object-C、JavaScript、Php、Python、Ruby、C#、Clojure, perhaps Perl Language , You can use Selenium WebDriver Of API.Appium Support any testing framework . If only Apple Of UIAutomation, We can only use javascript To write test cases , And only use Instruction To run test cases . Again , If only Google Of UIAutomation, We can only use java To write test cases .Appium Real cross platform automated testing is realized .
4. Appium Is an open source for automated testing 、 Cross platform tools . It allows testers to work on different platforms （iOS,Android） Use the same set API To write automated test scripts , This greatly increases iOS and Android Test the reusability of code between suites .
   Support iOS The platform and Android Native applications on the platform ,web Applications and mixed applications .
   So-called “ Mobile native app ” It refers to those who use iOS perhaps Android SDK Applications written .
   So-called “ Move web application ” It's an application that uses a mobile browser to access （Appium Support iOS Upper Safari and Android Upper Chrome）.
   So-called “ Hybrid applications ” Native code encapsulates the view of a web page —— Native code and web Content interaction .
   such as , image Phonegap, It can help developers develop applications using Web Technology , Then encapsulate... With native code , These are hybrid applications .
5. Appium Use the framework provided by the supplier ：
   IOS 9.3 And above ： Apple XCUITest
   IOS 9.3 And earlier ： Apple UIAutomation
   Android 4.2+： Google's UiAutomator/UiAutomator 2
   Android 2.3+： Google's Instrumentation（Instrumentation By a separate project Selendroid Provide support ）
   Windows： Microsoft WinAppDriver

a key ： Supporting learning materials and video teaching

So here I have carefully prepared the detailed information of the above outline in The link below is as follows
