I was approached by one of the acquisition editors of a reputed publishing house. When we discussed the idea I felt I have already written a book on similar lines then why a new book. And I started evaluating my existing book which is available on Gitbook. It’s the most widely downloaded and read Appium book . But I felt that there is a chance to re-work on the book and improvise what I have already done. This book " Mobile Test automation with Appium"   is an idea to help a larger mass learn test automation and basics of mobile testing and automation using Appium. It’s written in such a way that if you know Java, you can pick up mobile test automation and practice it. It’s highly practical in approach with a lot of coding examples to help you learn. This book is aimed at saving a lot of your time in finding the right material and provides you a step by step guidance to learn how to design a good test automation framework from scratch. It's going to be out in a mont...

Recently while working on one of the Appium automation framework, we noticed this error: " org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException:   UiAutomator died while responding to command,  please check appium logs!  (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) Let me explain the framework we have. The framework is using Cucumber + Appium + Gradle.  So the test are written in feature file in plain english and in turn talk to step implementation which calls the page class for any action.  We also have some utils written  which basically captures the screenshot of the device on the step of failure and captures the adb log of the device. But in this case of error there was no snapshot  taken. Also we are running the tests in parallel and are not using Selenium grid, we have our own custom solution to take care of it. Couple of guess what we made: We suspected the issue to be sessi...

TestVagrant  is perhaps the first services company to bring in an idea of free POC. We learnt that services for startups need to be different from services for enterprise.  VagrantLab  is our attempt to address the need. At  VagrantLab  , we have created a very  succinct  and pertinent solution offering for startups: Easy to get started (via a free POC) Easy to continue (bare minimum retainer model) and Easy to handover (you own what we code)

TestVagrant Technologies has released two free Ebooks on Gitbook.io and couple of projects in github which can help you get started with Appium and Cucumber-JVM. Both the books are for beginners and have detailed steps on how to set-up and goes till how to execute your first test. We did find lack of good documentation on both the subject in terms of starting up so we tried putting one hand book for the same. Happy Reading !!!
