Yalla Mobile Automation Framework

Overview

This project is a scalable Mobile Test Automation Framework developed using Java, Appium, TestNG, Maven, and Allure Reporting.

The framework automates the Yalla application Trip Creation workflow and follows industry-standard automation design principles including:

• Page Object Model (POM)
• Reusable Utility Components
• Explicit Wait Strategy
• Centralized Driver Management
• Allure Reporting Integration
• Screenshot Capture on Failure
• Environment Information Reporting
• Clean and Maintainable Test Design

How To Run

Step 1: Clone Repository

git clone https://github.com/rkhangithub/YallaMobileAutomationFramework.git

Step 2: Navigate To Project

cd YallaMobileAutomationFramework

Step 3: Start Appium Server

appium

Step 4: Start Android Emulator

Launch an Android emulator from Android Studio/Intellij IDEA or connect a real Android device.

adb devices (Output should show connected device/emulator)

Step 5: Execute Tests

mvn clean test

Step 6: Generate Allure Report

allure serve target/allure-results
