Introducing Optimus - An open source test framework using Appium

Folks,

Announcing Optimus157, an open source mobile app test automation framework that can be used to start automating any app on any platform in a matter of minutes. Some of the highlights below:

• Setup your machine with one command, installs everything that is needed to start with test automation of your app

• Test stack

  1. Appium - driving the app interaction
  2. Cucumber - BDD style spec definitions
  3. JAVA - programming tests using appium-java client
  4. Gradle - the build tool for execution and integration
  5. MongoDB - storing details of the test run

• You can setup a custom device lab out of the box.

• Every test runs in its own container, with it’s own set of appium server and driver instance.

• Configurable setup to control app under tests and test devices.

• Connect any number device and optimus will use that for running test in parallel based on configurations.

• No need for java coding, if you don’t want to. You could just write scenarios using a common vocabulary in plain english.

• At the same time, it is flexible to accommodate custom step definition, if and when needed.

• Supports automation of inter-app scenarios, think uber’s and ola’s of the world.
