Summary

This is the fourth post in a series called Appium Bootcamp by noted Selenium expert Dave Haeffner. The bootcamp is designed for those who are new to mobile test automation with Appium, and no prior knowledge of Selenium is required. In this chapter, Dave collaborates with Matthew Edwards to bring us material on using similar actions (like click) along with wait mechanisms to make tests more resilient. They use the basic structure of the test apps they've been working with, which have text elements that take you to a dedicated page when clicked. The iOS and Android examples demonstrate how to automate this behavior, using text matches, clicks, and exact text matches, and also cover how to make these actions resilient against timing problems by employing explicit waits.
