About the Book

While few people deny the benefits of test automation, comprehensive automated testing via UI (simulator or real device for mobile apps) is rarely implemented in software projects. Common reasons for projects' failed attempts on test automation are:

Difficult to learn - test scripts are complex and testing tools are not easy to use
Hard to maintain - UI tests are vulnerable to application changes
Long feedback loop - automated tests take too long to run

To succeed in automated testing via UI, software projects need to overcome all these 3 challenges.

This book presents a practical approach to implementing test automation for iOS apps. Topics include:

Developing easy to read and maintain Appium tests using a next-generation functional testing tool
Page object model
Functional Testing Refactorings
Test execution in simulator and devices
Setting up a Continuous Testing server to manage the execution of a large number of automated UI tests
