Appium: Endgame and What’s Next? [Testμ 2022]

The automation backend architecture of Appium has undergone significant development along with the release of numerous new capabilities. With the advent of Appium, test engineers can cover mobile apps, desktop apps, Flutter apps, and more.

Two-phase Model-based Testing

Most test automation tools just do test execution automation. Without test design involved in the whole test automation process, the test cases remain ad hoc and detect only simple bugs. This solution is just automation without real testing. In addition, test execution automation is very inefficient.

Does Lambdatest support Appium espresso driver?

Capabilities not recognized after dependencies update

How does Appium architecture handle different platforms?

I'm getting below error: org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException

How to integrate capabilities for mobile browser testing?

I am trying to use the Appium espresso driver for automating a native Android app. But getting error WebDriverException: Message: 1738488081813915962: failed to start session: map[value:map[error:unknown error message:An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command.

Does Lambdatest support the appium espresso driver?

Here is my code:

It works fine if I replace Espresso with UIAutomator2. Do I need to make any other changes to the capabilities to make espresso work?

https://community.lambdatest.com/t/35191

@Vaibhav.Mathur That’s a great observation! :blush:

Currently, we supports UIAutomator2 for Android automation, but Appium Espresso Driver is not supported yet. That’s why the session works perfectly with UIAutomator2 but fails with Espresso.

UIAutomator2 is quite powerful and widely used for automating native apps, so you should be able to cover most scenarios with it. If LambdaTest adds support for Espresso in the future, we’ll be happy to update you! :rocket::blush:
