The adoption of DevOps methodology has increased and the need to release to production in shorter cycles is driving teams to accelerate the process and embed early test automation. Teams operating in this release velocity need fast & reliable feedback for every code change to ensure app quality. Is this new process forcing teams to choose between automation frameworks? XCUITest (iOS) are UI automation frameworks that fit very well with this new development process. Many teams are trying to make a decision – which test automation framework to adopt? The below comparison table highlights the

This article is brought to you by Joe Colantonio. Original source Now my time is split approximately 50/50 between creating automated tests for UI and creating tests for APIs like REST services. There are a few reasons for this: Agile practices The Internet Of Things I’ve been involved with test automation for over 15 years, and in the beginning, pretty much all my test automation efforts focused on automating GUI user interfaces like thick client applications, browsers and even green screen for mainframes. Agile Automation With Agile development becoming the standard in most organizations, the

Why XCUITest is a better choice over Appium I recently went for a Swift conference and UI automation testing was one of the subject. I already mentioned it with Appium in the past but I think it’s time to go back to it and explain why today I still prefer using Apple’s testing framework instead. I discovered Appium about three years ago when I wanted to consolidate automation testing. At that time, it was a good alternative since Apple didn’t have an easy solution to maintain. However, I already flagged at that time some limitation
