Continuous Integration of Mobile Apps with Docker and Appium
Appium is an open source test automation framework for testing native, hybrid, and mobile web apps on iOS, Android, and Windows platforms. It uses the WebDriver protocol to drive apps similarly to how Selenium is used to test web apps. Docker can be used to run Appium and emulate devices for continuous integration of mobile tests without relying on physical devices or cloud services. Raspberry Pis with ZRAM modules allow running the Dockerized tests in parallel by emulating on the ARM-based Pis as Jenkins slaves.

- 7. 7 of 66 Introduction Whydo we develop for mobile devices? ● Since 2014 there are more mobile users than desktop ones. ● People buy more mobile devices than non mobile ones. source #opensouthcode @agomezmoron
- 8. 8 of 66 #opensouthcode@agomezmoron Introduction Why do we have to test apps? ● 90% of the time using apps vs 10% using the browser. ● Different OS (and also the same OS works different depending on the version…). ● Native vs Hybrid apps. source

- 10. 10 of 66 WhatAppium is ● Appium is an open source test automation framework for use with native, hybrid and mobile web apps. ● It drives iOS, Android, and Windows apps using the WebDriver protocol. #opensouthcode @agomezmoron
- 11. 11 of 66 WhatAppium is Appium rules: 1. You shouldn’t have to recompile your app or modify it in any way in order to automate it. 2. You shouldn’t be locked into a specific language or framework to write and run your tests. 3. A mobile automation framework shouldn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to automation APIs. 4. A mobile automation framework should be open source, in spirit and practice as well as in name! #opensouthcode @agomezmoron
