Parallel Testing in Appium

Introduction#

Parallel execution in appium using selenium GRID concept. Please find step by step process.

Step By Step process

Parallel Testing with Appium using GRID: I will describe the way which worked for me. Create Selenium Grid with Appium

Setup the selenium grid

Download selenium standalone server jar on local file system Open your terminal and navigate to the directory to where you placed the jar file and execute the following command:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.53.3.jar -role hub
Open https://localhost:4444/grid/console and you should be able to see GRID console in your browser.

Setup the Appium Nodes

Here you have to create the json files. Suppose you want to run on two devices then create two different json file. Here is one json file , I have as: { “capabilities”: [ { “applicationName”: “ONEPLUS A3003”, “browserName”: “ONEPLUS A3003”, “platformName”: “ANDROID”, “maxInstances”: 1 } ], “configuration”: { “cleanUpCycle”: 2000, “timeout”: 30000, “proxy”: “org.openqa.grid.selenium.proxy.DefaultRemoteProxy”, “host”: “127.0.0.1”, “port”: 4723, “maxSession”: 1, “register”: true, “registerCycle”: 5000, “hubPort”: 4444, “hubHost”: “your ip address” } } save the above file as jasonFile1.json Here applicationName will be -> Your Mobile->settings->about phone->Model number Here hubHost will be your ip address Here note that you need to go as default cmd location then run below command

appium —nodeconfig C:/richa/jasonfile1.json -p 4723 -bp 4724 -U xxxx

i)Note that you need to provide the absolute pasth of the json file located ii) port as 4723 iii) Bootstrap port as 4724 iv) -U for example I have given as xxxx

you can find the device id as -> Your Mobile->settings->status->Serial number You can also do “adb device” and check this device id.

Then it will create the Selenium Grid with one device.

Now again run the second json file and you will get appium started Here is second json file:

{ “capabilities”: [ { “applicationName”: “Lenovo K50a40”, “browserName”: “Lenovo K50a40”, “platformName”: “ANDROID”, “maxInstances”: 1 } ], “configuration”: { “cleanUpCycle”: 2000, “timeout”: 30000, “proxy”: “org.openqa.grid.selenium.proxy.DefaultRemoteProxy”, “host”: “127.0.0.1”, “port”: 4730, “maxSession”: 1, “register”: true, “registerCycle”: 5000, “hubPort”: 4444, “hubHost”: “your ip address” } } save the above file as jasonFile2.json

Start the second node with Lenovo mobile. appium —nodeconfig C:/richa/ jasonFile2.json -p 4730 -bp 4731 -U xxxx

Selenium Grid will look like this

3)Create TestNG parallel execution methods to run you test.

Please note value of device name will be the udid you provided earlier. You can get it by running adb devices on your command prompt.

Now create SearchHotelTestCase.Java as below: package com.trivago.TestCases;

import java.net.MalformedURLException; import java.net.URL; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities; import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver; import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod; import org.testng.annotations.Parameters; import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import com.trivago.pages.LocaleSelectionPage; import com.trivago.pages.SearchLocation; import com.trivago.pages.SplashScreenPage;

import io.appium.java_client.MobileElement; import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;

public class SearchHotelTestCase { private AndroidDriver driver;

@Parameters({ “deviceName_”,“platformVersion_”,“applicationName_” }) @BeforeMethod public void beforeMethod(String deviceName_,String platformVersion_,String applicationName_) throws MalformedURLException, InterruptedException {

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities(); capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”, deviceName_); capabilities.setCapability(“platformVersion”, platformVersion_); capabilities.setCapability(“platformName”, “Android”); capabilities.setCapability(“applicationName”, applicationName_); capabilities.setCapability(“app”, “/Users/richa.b.shrivastava/Downloads/com.trivago_2017-04-28.apk”); capabilities.setCapability(“appPackage”, “com.trivago”); capabilities.setCapability(“appActivity”, “com.trivago.activities.SplashActivity”);

URL url = new URL(”https://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub/”); System.out.println(“before webdriver”); driver = new AndroidDriver(url, capabilities); System.out.println(“after webdriver”); driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS); Thread.sleep(4000); }

@Test public void SearchHotel() { //Create the objects of Page Class LocaleSelectionPage localeSelectionPage = new LocaleSelectionPage(driver); SplashScreenPage splashScreenPage = new SplashScreenPage(driver); SearchLocation searchLocation = new SearchLocation(driver);

//Call the methods of page class localeSelectionPage.selectLocale(); splashScreenPage.clickSplashSearchText(); searchLocation.inputSearchText(“Paris”); searchLocation.selectSuggestions(“Eiffel Tower, Paris”);

}
