如何使用 selenium 和 appium 自动化移动聊天应用程序？

Question

I have mobile app for chat user, it is similar to what's chat and having some additional features. How can we automate using selenium webdriver with android appium.

I am thinking for creating two instances but not getting clear idea about it.

Anyone is having any other solutions.

Answer 1

First of all you need to make Appium environment in your system.

Once Appium is installed in your system follow the steps

•   Open the APPIUM App
•   Click on ‘Android’ icon at top left
•   In Capabilities section, specify ‘Platform Name’ , ‘Automation Name’, ‘Platform version’ and Device Name’ as required.
•   Click on ‘Settings’ icon at top left
•   Verify the prefilled values i.e. Server address should be ‘127.0.0.1’ and Port as ‘4723’  

After above steps you need to specify the Package name and Activity name in the code

cap1.setCapability("appPackage", "com.android.settings");
        cap1.setCapability("appActivity", "com.android.settings.Settings");

Above mentioned package name and activity name belongs to SETTINGS in Android mobile

PASSING PARAMETERS IN YOUR CODE

DesiredCapabilities cap1= new DesiredCapabilities();
    cap1.setCapability("deviceName", "Device name");
    cap1.setCapability("platformVersion", "Android version");
    cap1.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
    cap1.setCapability("browserName", "chrome");

    cap1.setCapability("appPackage", "com.android.settings");
    cap1.setCapability("appActivity", "com.android.settings.Settings");

These are the parameters you need to pass in your code to access your app.
