Summary

Automated Mobile Testing with Appium & Gilt Recap`: Gilt Groupe uses Appium to automate their mobile testing, replacing previous solutions due to flaws in their release and QA process, which causes pain from elusive and hard-to-reproduce bugs. A compromise between automating UI tests and manual QA involves focusing on repetitive tasks such as sanity tests for daily builds, with the goal of maximizing effectiveness rather than achieving 100% automated test coverage. The team is experimenting with ways to handle waits to transfer between screens using the Page Objects pattern and techniques similar to ScalaTest's Eventually, and emphasizes collaboration between teams, although they are still in the process of finding a suitable workflow.
