In order to use a framework, it's important to know it's advantages. Let's see what are the key features of this framework:

👉 📱 Supports Android and iOS Real Devices and Emulators.

👉 💻 Able to start and stop the server on run-time and also can connect to an already running server.

👉 📓 Enforces Page object model style of coding.

👉 🌌 Allows parallel and sequential execution of tests.

👉 🔨 All capabilities, playback and delay settings are configurable through config file.

👉 ☁️ Supports execution of tests on any Cloud solution like BrowserStack, SauceLabs, TestingBot, etc.

👉 📹 Supports video recording of tests on Android and iOS.

👉 📷 Supports capturing screenshots for Android and iOS.

👉 📋 Supports reading Clipboard from devices.

👉 📔 Supports logging of all events occurred during test execution.

👉 ❌ Provides pre-defined errors which wraps the Appium exceptions in a meaningful way.

👉 ✅ Provides inbuilt assertions to verify the device elements.

👉 ♨️ Supports any Testing frameworks like TestNG, JUnit or Cucumber.

😄 How it is easy to write Tests with this Framework?

1. 🏭 How to configure the tests?

First step in writing tests using coteafs-appium framework is defining a Yaml config file in the src/test/resources folder.

(For more details, check the link above.)

Sample file is shown below.

servers:
  android_server:
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: 4723
    external: true
    logs:
      level: DEBUG
      path: logs/appium-server.log
      timestamp: true
      local_timezone: true
      debug_spacing: true
    android:
      suppress_adb_kill: true
devices:
  android:
    os: ANDROID
    name: Google Pixel 3
    version: 8.1
    type: SIMULATOR
    others:
      clear_files: true
      no_reset: false
      full_reset: true
      clear_logs: true
    automation: UIAUTOMATOR2
    android:
      avd:
        name: Pixel_3_XL_API_27
        launch_timeout: 60000
        ready_timeout: 60000
        args: -gpu swiftshader_indirect
      app:
        install_timeout: 60000
        type: HYBRID
        path: apps/android/VodQA.apk
    session_timeout: 120000
    playback:
      screenshot:
        on_error: true
      recording:
        enabled: true
      stream:
        enabled: true
      delay:
        before_swipe: 200
        after_swipe: 100
        before_tap: 0
        after_tap: 0
        implicit: 1
        explicit: 20

2. 🎯 How simple it is to write the tests?

By using Action classes for each Activity, the flow specific for that activity can be modularized and tests looks much clean and readable. See the sample test below.

import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;

import com.github.wasiqb.coteafs.appium.android.vodqa.actions.LoginActivityAction;
import com.github.wasiqb.coteafs.appium.service.AppiumServer;

public class SampleTest {
    protected AndroidDevice androidDevice;
    private   AppiumServer  androidServer;

    @BeforeClass
    public void setupTestSuite () {
        // Here the parameter refers to the key in server block in config file.
        this.androidServer = new AppiumServer ("android_server");
        this.androidServer.start ();

        // Here the param refers to the key in devices block in config file.
        this.androidDevice = new AndroidDevice (this.androidServer, "android_device");
        this.androidDevice.start ();
        this.androidDevice.startRecording ();
        this.androidDevice.startStreaming ();
    }

    @AfterClass (alwaysRun = true)
    public void tearDownTestSuite () {
        this.androidDevice.stopStreaming ();
        this.androidDevice.stopRecording ();
        this.androidDevice.stop ();
        this.androidServer.stop ();
    }

    @Test
    public void login () {
        final LoginActivityAction login = new LoginActivityAction (this.androidDevice);
        login.addInputValue ("UserName", "admin")
            .addInputValue ("Password", "admin")
            .perform ();
    }
}

3. ⛳ How to create Activity class?

New class needs to be created for each Activity. There's an abstract activity class for each type of device. Here prepare method needs to be implemented with all the elements available on that Activity.

See the below sample for an Android activity with comments for better understanding.

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import com.github.wasiqb.coteafs.appium.android.AndroidDevice;
import com.github.wasiqb.coteafs.appium.device.DeviceElement;

public class LoginActivity extends AndroidActivity {
    public LoginActivity (final AndroidDevice device) {
        super (device);
    }

    @Override
    protected DeviceElement prepare () {
        final DeviceElement main = DeviceElement.create ("Main")
            .forAndroid (By.id ("android:id/content"));
        DeviceElement.create ("Back")
            .parent (main)
            .forAndroid (By.xpath ("//android.widget.TextView[@text=\"Back\"]"))
            // We can set multiple locators for different Automation names.
            .forAndroid (AutomationType.UIAUTOMATOR2,
                MobileBy.AndroidUIAutomator ("new UiSelector ().text (\"Back\");"));
        DeviceElement.create ("UserName")
            .forAndroid (MobileBy.AccessibilityId ("username"))
            .parent (main);
        DeviceElement.create ("Password")
            .forAndroid (MobileBy.AccessibilityId ("password"))
            .parent (main);
        DeviceElement.create ("Login")
            .index (1)    // Index of element when multiple elements for same locator exists.
            .waitStrategy (WaitStrategy.VISIBLE)  // Wait strategy to be used while finding the element.
            .forAndroid (MobileBy.AccessibilityId ("login"))     // Locator used to find the element.
            .parent (main);    // Parent of current element.
        return main;
    }
}

4. ⚽ How to create your Activity action class?

There is abstract action class provided by the framework where Activity specific flow is implemented in perform method. See the sample Activity action class below.

import com.github.wasiqb.coteafs.appium.android.AndroidActivityActions;
import com.github.wasiqb.coteafs.appium.android.AndroidDevice;
import com.github.wasiqb.coteafs.appium.android.vodqa.activities.LoginActivity;

public class LoginActivityAction extends AndroidActivityActions {
    public LoginActivityAction (final AndroidDevice device) {
        super (device);
    }

    @Override
    public void perform () {
        final LoginActivity login = new LoginActivity (getDevice ());
        login.onElement ("UserName")
            .enterText (value ("UserName"));
        login.onElement ("Password")
            .enterText (value ("Password"));
        login.onDevice ()
            .hideKeyboard ();
        login.onElement ("Login")
            .tap ();
    }
}
