Summary

Today I started learning mobile app automation using Appium with JavaScript. I successfully set up the Android development environment, configured essential tools, and explored Appium fundamentals to prepare for writing automated test cases.


What I Completed

  • Installed and configured Android Studio
  • Created and launched an Android Emulator
  • Set up environment variables:
    • ANDROID_HOME
    • Platform-tools & tools paths
  • Installed Appium & Appium Doctor using Node.js
  • Studied Appium documentation (drivers, sessions, capabilities)

Commands Used

# Install Appium globally
npm install -g appium

# Check Appium version
appium --version

# Install Appium Doctor
npm install -g appium-doctor
appium-doctor --android

# Start Appium server
appium

# Create Android emulator (example)
avdmanager create avd -n Pixel_6_API_34 -k "system-images;android-34;google_apis;x86_64"

# Launch emulator
emulator -avd Pixel_6_API_34
