Question

What are the basic requirements for writing Appium tests?

Answer 1

We need the following things for writing Appium tests:

• Driver Client: Appium drives mobile applications such as a user. It needs a Driver Client library to write your Appium tests, which wraps test steps and sends them to the Appium server over HTTP.
• Appium Session: We have first to initialize a session so that the Appium test can take place in the session. Once the Automation is done for one session, it can be ended and wait for another session.
• Desired Capabilities: Desired Capabilities are certain parameters such as PlatformName, PlatformVersion, and Device Name, etc., which are required to initialize an Appium session. It specifies the kind of automation one requires from the Appium server.
• Driver Commands: Driver Commands are used to write test steps using a large and expressive vocabulary of commands.
