[Android] A note for jetpack benchmark feature in Android
At Google I/O, benchmarking feature has been released. The video is this. In 2015, I wrote an article, titled [iOS][Swift]XCTestでパフォーマンスを計測したり、処理をwaitする. It was about how to measure performance in XCTest. It was able to use for both non-UI and UI tests. As the similar way, we finally can get the way to measure performance on Android…More
[Android] Updated the official Fundamentals of Testing doc
Fundamentals of Testing has been updated based on AndroidX series. As I have proposed similar pyramid for a long time to friends of mine and colleagues. e.g. [English]Test automation design for Cookpad’s global Android app, 2018, [Japanese]Android/iOSアプリのテストの区分戦略, 2016 In the article, below is mapped. Local unit tests => small tests Instrumented unit tests => medium tests…More
[Android][Appium] Page Source of Jetpack Compose
Google announced Jetpack Compose to simplify and programable UI development. I thought it was like Flutter then 🙂 I wondered if we can get view hierarchy correctly via the feature since if the feature is like Flutter, it is not on full Android view system. Espresso and UiAutomator probably cannot find element provided by it.…More
[iOS]Xcode returns an authorization error
When I ran xcodebuild commands, I got an error which was about Install Failed: Error Domain=DVTDownloadableErrors Code=3 “The authorization was denied since no user interaction was possible.” UserInfo={AuthorizationErrorCode=-60007, NSLocalizedDescription=The authorization was denied since no user interaction was possible.} Then, xcodebuild -checkFirstLaunchStatus returns 69 status code. Maybe, it can fix with xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch, but I haven’t…More
[Appium] COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE does not affect WDA build
I expected COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE slightly improved WDA build time, but it did not affect… I would remain the result here. No COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE=NO With COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE=NO Update: But the COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE=NO does not specify -index-store-path for the clang build. It slightly affects in some case, I guess…. But according to the above, it probably does not affect to WDA,…More
[Appium]Re-use existing WDA in create session command
In [Appium] Prevent building WDA with useXctestrunFile or usePrebuiltWDA, I explained how to skip re-building WDA every session in order to make test setup faster. I would like to show a “cache” feature for WDA in Appium. After this PR , the function will work correctly. The PR will be in 1.12.1 or 1.13.0. As…More
[Appium] Prevent building WDA with useXctestrunFile or usePrebuiltWDA
Building WDA every time takes much time to initialise Appium sessions for iOS. I assume many users would like to reduce the initialisation time as possible. xcodebuild can run xcuitest process without building them. The command is xcodebuild test-without-build. If you already have a build module, xcodebuild can use it without additional building process. Appium…More
