Getting started with Appium testing
For most Appium users, using Device Farm for Appium testing requires only minor changes to your existing test configuration.
At a high level, there are three steps to using Device Farm for client-side Appium tests:
-
First, you need to create a remote access session for testing a Device Farm device. You can include your apps as a part of your remote access request, or install apps after the session has started.
-
Once the session is running, you can copy the Appium endpoint URL, and use it either through a stand-alone tool (like Appium Inspector
) or from your Appium test code in your IDE. The URL will be valid for the duration of the remote access session. -
And finally, once your Appium test has started, you can review your Appium server logs live during the test execution alongside the video stream of your device.
