Test Setup And Execution

After uploading the app to the LambdaTest cloud through REST API, you need to configure different capabilities for the uploaded app in your Appium test scripts. After that, you can run app automation tests using Appium on LambdaTest.

The LambdaTest Desired Capabilities Generator will help in auto-generating the capabilities class required to run your app automation scripts on the LambdaTest Appium Grid. The Desired capabilities generator will generate the entire code of the capabilities class for the selected setups and programming languages.

This documentation guides you how to configure the desired capability for app, device, group tests, debugging, and mark tests passed/failed etc.

Configure App

In order to fetch and install apps on LambdaTest cloud, you will need to use the app capability to connect with your uploaded apps.

Key Values Description Desired Capability
app lt://APP10051525539885437397 Configure the app to test on "app":"lt://APP10051525539885437397"

Select Device And OS

To perform Appium mobile testing on real Android and iOS devices, you need to define the deviceName, platformName, and platformVersion capabilities in your Appium automation scripts.

Key Values Description Desired Capability
deviceName Galaxy Tab S4 Specify the device to test on capabilities.setCapability (deviceName","Galaxy Tab S4)
platformName Android Specify the platform name capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android")
platformVersion 10 Specify the platform version capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "10")

Group Tests

For better analysis, you can name your test cases and organize your builds by build name and project. To organize Appium automated tests, you will need to use name, build and projectName capability.

Key Values Description Desired Capability
build 5.1 Represent the build number for your test capabilities.setCapability("build", "5.1")
name Demo Represents the name of a test capabilities.setCapability("name", "Demo")
projectName Test1 Represent the name of a project capabilities.setCapability("projectName", "Test1")

Debugging

By specifying the capabilities for the debugging tools, you can debug and fix your failed Appium test sessions using Appium logs, device logs, network logs, crash logs, screenshots, video logs, or app profiling data.

Note: Appium logs are enabled by default.

Key Values Description Desired Capability
network true/false Enable network logs capabilities.setCapability("network", "true")
devicelog true/false Enable device logs capabilities.setCapability("devicelog", "true")
visual true/false Enable Visual logs to capture screenshots. capabilities.setCapability("visual", "true")
video true/false Enable Video recording of the entire screen capabilities.setCapability("video", "true")

Viewing Appium Test Results

You can view the results of your app automation tests on the LambdaTest App Automation dashboard and using the REST API. Configure build and project capabilities to segregate your test sessions into distinct builds and projects.

Key Values Description Desired Capability
build My_Test Name of the build to group tests capabilities.setCapability("build", "My_Test")
project Sprint Name of the project to group tests capabilities.setCapability("project", "Sprint")

Mark Tests As Passed Or Failed

While performing mobile app automation on LambdaTest Appium Grid, you may encounter a scenario in which a test that you labeled as failed in your local instance turns out to be performed successfully on LambdaTest. It's crucial to mark an automated test as Passed or Failed based on your testing requirements for validating expected behavior.

By default, the Status of each test that runs successfully is marked as Completed, and if there are any issues, the Status is marked as Error.

You can mark a test status as failed/passed using JavaScript executer on LambdaTest.

  1. To mark test status as failed.

driver.executeScript('lambda-status=failed')

  1. To mark test status as passed.

driver.executeScript('lambda-status=passed')
