Installing Appium with WSL ( Windows Subsystem for Linux )

Make sure WSL  ( Windows Subsystem for Linux ) is  up and running on your windows.I will be using Debian command line environment.

Refer this post on how to setup WSL : IN PROGRESS

For installing Appium through WSL CLI we need

-nodejs 

-NPM

Note: It can also be installed using windows command prompt by running likewise command used in windows.

Check if node.js and npm are installed in your system by going to the WSL command line and typing the command

$ nodejs --version

$ npm --version

If they are not installed follow below steps:

Launch WSL Terminal ( In my case it will be Debian)

Start by updating the packages list by typing :

$ sudo apt update

Install the nodejs using the apt package manager

$ sudo apt install nodejs

To verify the Installation execute the following command :

$ nodejs --version

To be able to download npm package, you need to install the npm, the Node.js pacakge manager .To do so type:

$ sudo apt install npm

To verify the npm Install check using the command :

$ npm --version

To verify the npm Install check using the command :

$ npm --version

Install Appium with node.js by typing the following command,

$ sudo npm install -g appium

If you are getting any error/warning related to npm version error like this,

 

Type and enter below command to fix it to install to latest node version 

$ sudo npm i npm@latest -g

and run Appium command again

We will check if Appium is installed by typing the following command

$ appium -v

Start Appium by typing the following command and hit enter

$ appium

You will get something like this

Congratulations!! You have successfully installed Appium with WSL.

Happy Learning 😁

𝗔𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻 "Mobile Application Testing: Made Easy":

Have you ever wondered what Mobile Application Testing looks like? Or how Mobile applications are being created and tested?

In this talk, Saif will be spilling some beans in and around these topics to our fellow Quality Engineers to apply this knowledge in the "$157 Billion App Store Consumer Spending" market as per "Tech Crunch"

Today mobile phones have evolved from simple communication devices to a gadget that can basically do everything. Whether it be ordering food, booking a cab service, or simply looking for directions, it can all be done using a mobile phone. This is only possible due to the wonderful world of mobile applications. In this meetup, we will be discussing the testing process of such applications.

Sample Test Plan for Automation in Software Testing

Objective:

Every time we make any changes to our applications, we need to do a considerable amount of manual testing for both iOS and Android platforms. Our objective is to prepare an automated regression test suite for react-native applications that will cover major functionality.

Framework:

Jest:

Jest is a JavaScript Testing Framework with a focus on simplicity. It works with projects using: Babel, TypeScript, Node.js, React, Angular and Vue.js. It aims to work out of the box and config free.

React Test Renderer:

This package provides a React renderer that can be used to render React components to pure JavaScript objects, without depending on the DOM or a native mobile environment. Essentially, this package makes it easy to grab a snapshot of the platform view hierarchy (similar to a DOM tree) rendered by a React DOM or React Native component without using a browser or jsdom.

React Component:

React lets us define components as classes or functions. Components defined as classes currently provide more features which are described in detail on this page. To define a React component class, you need to extend React.Component:

class Welcome extends React.Component { 
   render() {   
      return <h1>Hello, {this.props.name}</h1>;
  }}

The only method you must define in a React.Component subclass is called render(). All the other methods described on this page are optional.

Test React Component: 

Currently we are writing test for the components if it's affected by conditional statement (if else). For and example:

<Button    
   style={{      
      padding: 16,      
      backgroundColor: disabled ? 'white' : 'black',      
      flexDirection: 'row'   
   }}
/>

test('test button background color if disabled',()=>{
const testRenderer = TestRenderer.create(<Button/>);
const testInstance = testRenderer.root;
const button = testInstance.findByType(Button);
const buttonStyle = button.props.style;
expect(buttonStyle.backgroundColor).toBe('#FFFFFF');
})

We are not writing any test for default style of the components(Which doesn't have any logic). For an example, 

<Button    
   style={{      
      padding: 16,      
      backgroundColor: 'black',      
      flexDirection: 'row'   
   }}
/>

Note: You can find more details about the test guideline here: 

Resource:

All the mobile test team will be involved in the automation scripting.

Out of Scope:

Device-specific testing: Like rendering of UI on different OS (Android and iOS). OS-specific like issues, to recall any iOS upgrade.

WebView related Testing:  

Any non-functional testing:

Limitation:

Resource Limitation: 

All the members of the mobile team have knowledge of Java. So everyone needs to be familiar with JavaScript as we are using the Jest framework. Also, need to be familiar with the react component.

Technology Limitation: 

We can not perform testing on physical devices. (We are not sure if this is possible)

Not Everything can be automated.

Current Progress:

Currently, we are writing unit tests for react components across products. So far, we are able to manage 37.54% of the overall components. We will try to achieve max % unit test coverage for react components. But there are few components with animation and some components which required re-factoring. 

Milestone:

We divided our milestone in 2 steps. In step 1, we will try to gain 80% unit test code coverage for the react component. And in step 2, we will try to cover all the functional testing for our product. 

Milestone 1: Component Unit Test

Application	Total Components	Weekly Task	QA Involved	Deadline(Weeks)
Abc App	25	1	1	20
Def App	50	2	2	25

Milestone 2: Screen Functionality Test

Application	Completed	Weekly Task	QA Involved	Deadline(Weeks)
Abc App	0	1	1	On-going Process
Def App	13	2	2	On-going Process

Test Report:

We will get the test report from the scheduled build from BuildKite or any other CI/CD. The test report will trigger once a day through the Slack channel. From the report, we will show the below information.

Header 1	Header 2
Build Number	6453
