![]() So less of a learning … and then the Selenium people when they came to Appium. It's just the same protocol like differently. You really need to learn very little other than a different set of capabilities. ![]() Joe: So if someone's familiar with Appium already, how would they be able to leverage this, is it the same technology?ĭan: Yes, it's the same technology. We'll go into specifics in the talk.ĭan: Yes, a full web content hopefully soon on Windows. If I had a calculator or a Windows VB6 application …ĭan: Yes. So I could literally automate a web-based application using Appium. Is this something to do with Appium?ĭan: Yes, that's the Window implementation for Appium. We'll just be standing around taking credit for it or something. Much further down the line, eventually people will just bring their own implementations to the table, and we won't be doing anything. And then about the StarDriver vision of one protocol to automate all the things, and how we're achieving that.ĭan: Appium takes a more broad view on it and says: “Well, why have a protocol just to automate one thing?” We feel that automation is similar enough that we might be able to develop one protocol to automate everything, which we refer to currently as the StarDriver Vision.Īt Appium, we're working on continuing to generalize the web driver's specifications, so that perhaps one day we might have one protocol to automate all the things. Windows Support which has almost been fully released but it's in Beta now, and Mac Support which is also in Beta. ![]() We're going to talk about Windows Support and Mac Support. The next step is we're bringing in other kinds of apps. We started with Web Driver which automated websites, and then with Appium we sort of generalized it to do mobile applications. So it's the next step in the StarDriver vision. Yeah, so Stuart Russell into it and and Yousef Durr of Microsoft and I are going to present on automating desktops on Appium. He's doing a session on Appium, so Dan can you tell us a bit more what your session is going to be on?ĭan: Cool. Dan's Session at Selenium Conference 2017 in Austin, Texas Stuart Rusell of Intuit has stated a proof of concept called AppiumForMac to help you automate mac apps using the same Appium Selenium WebDriver.įor those of you that don't like video here is the full transcript of my interview with Dan at this year's Selenium Conference in Austin. Windows Application Driver developed by Yousef Durr at Microsoft is the Windows implementation of Appium to automate Windows applications. This ultimate evolution is called the StarDriver vision - one protocol to automate all the things, and this is one of the first steps towards it. The next step is to bring in the ability to automate other kinds of apps on Windows and Mac. In it he laid out the evolution of open source automation as starting off with Selenium WebDriver which automated website, and then with Appium that generalize WebDriver to automate mobile apps. Evolution of AppiumĪt the Selenium Conference 2017 in Austin, Texas Dan gave a presentation on Automation for Apps. Appium is for mobile test automation, and Selenium is for browser-based automated testing. ![]() They are different technologies for different testing needs. You might be confused about what the difference is between Selenium and Appium. Originally Appium was developed as an automated tool used to create test scripts that can run against native mobile applications and mobile-web apps on iOS or Android leveraging WebDriver. Jonathan Lipps is the leading developer on the Appium project now, but Dan is still proving leadership in the vision and direction of Appium automation.īefore we get into the future of Appium lets, cover some intro info first. It was an honor to finally meet face-to-face with one of my open source heroes Dan Cuellar and talk about the future of Appium.ĭan Cuellar is the original creator of Appium.
