Last month, Genymotion team participated in the largest Appium gathering of the year, AppiumConf 2019, held in Bengaluru, India on 14th-15th June, at Sheraton Grand Hotel. As gold sponsors of the event, Genymotion was thrilled to be an integral part of the conference, where the thought leaders of the open-source tool and the community, came together to share their experiences with one another.   Integration with Applitools Visual Testing This year was a very special one for us, with lots of news to announce. For starters, Genymotion and Applitools have officially kicked off our integration with each other, making it easy for Applitools users to scale their visual tests using Genymotion Cloud virtual devices. Leading up to, during, and following the event, both teams made a collective effort to publicize how engineers can parallelize app tests across all Android devices at once, in order to detect all bugs. Want to learn more about Genymotion’s integration with Applitools?  Register here to the webinar hosted by Jonathan Lipps (architect of the Appium project, and founder of AppiumPro newsletter) on the topic of “Easy Distributed Mobile Testing for Mobile Apps and Sites.” where he will present the integration in-depth on Tuesday, July 9, 2019.   Launch of Unprecedented Industry-Leading Pricing Model There’s another reason this year’s conference was so special for Genymotion – we officially launched Genymotion Cloud SaaS Pay-As-You-Go,  our new, industry-leading, flexible per-minute pricing which starts at 5 USD cents. The launch has been well-received among conference attendees. We noticed an uptick in signups for our Genymotion Cloud service immediately following the event. We’re learning that our pay-as-you-go pricing is opening the doors for mobile testing engineers, and presenting greater opportunities at lower budgets that had not previously existed in this market.  Sign up to Genymotion Cloud and get $50 worth of free credits   We Met a Lot of Appium Users!  Day 1 of the conference started early with lots of excited attendees already waiting for the talks to start. To kick-off the conference, Jonathan Lipps, Appium’s lead contributor, gave an insightful keynote on the future of Appium and mobile testing. Following the keynote, Angie Jones talked about how visual validation works, demoed a live integration into an existing Appium test code base, and discussed the pros and cons of using various visual validation techniques. Between talks, we had fun interacting with the visitors who were gathering at our booth to learn more about Genymotion Cloud, and understand how to run Genymotion Cloud with Appium.  Our team – Ghislain Ulrich, Ellinor Kwok, Vineet Karhail (L-R) – at our booth during AppiumConf 2019.   We were overwhelmed by the amount of delegates asking us interesting questions. We fielded questions like, “Should I use physical devices or virtual devices? How do I choose the right emulator? Is Genymotion right for their test automation needs?” and many others. We also met existing Genymotion Cloud users with specific questions on gmsaas, Genymotion on AWS and GCP, etc. Our pre-sales expert, Ellinor, was super busy between giving demos, meeting the speakers, attending interesting talks… and she still managed to try all the Indian dishes at lunch!  Day 2 of the conference was equally exciting with many interesting talks, and we met more attendees. It was great to see some of the attendees coming back to our booth with additional questions. We gave away lots of Genymotion stickers and Genydroids freebies, which were an instant hit among the visitors.  Genyboy and Genygirl decided to have fun at the dais between talks. They didn’t quite speak about Appium, but they were great at stress-busting, and found new homes at hundreds of Appium users in India!    Additionally, event organizers shot a quick video interview with our COO, Ghislain Ulrich discussing the wave of signups for Genymotion’s new pay-as-you-go service during the event.  We were happy to see that Genymotion was also mentioned several times in speakers’ presentations throughout the event, including talks by Vidio, CEX WeBuy, and PicsArt . This shows that the leading experts in the mobile testing use and advocate Genymotion for running their mobile tests. Aisyah Dzulqaidah, Test Engineer from BBM talked about “ Cloud Based Mobile Application Testing with Appium”. She and her team run their Android tests on Genymotion Cloud virtual devices.   It was great chatting with other sponsors at the AppiumConf 2019 as well. In this picture, TestProject‘s CEO, Marat Strelets, is showing our team how Genymotion Cloud can be integrated into their solution. Watch out for more on this!    So, How Did We Do?  All-in-all, the event was a huge success. We not only learned more about our audience of app testers, engineers, developers, etc. but we had a fun time doing it!  Until next year….

Run Applitools Visual Tests on Genymotion Cloud Virtual Devices

/

As more and more mobile QA teams are getting rid of manual testing, the need for automated testing is growing. Most teams focus their test automation on Unit, API, Integration, and Functional UI. But an important aspect of your mobile automation testing is Visual testing. Visual UI Testing is critical to catching unintended visual bugs while updating UI components. Visual bugs are difficult to find using functional tests, which focus on identifying bugs in your workflow. If you haven’t tried visual testing before, you’ll be surprised how many visual bugs you may find with an automated visual testing tool like Applitools. And don’t even think of manually finding visual bugs as it is painfully difficult to compare hundreds of images of your mobile app. Applitools provides AI-powered visual regression testing of applications and allows you to test cross-platform easily to identify visual bugs. It focuses on the visual aspects of your app and plays a major role in exposing the visual differences between baseline snapshots and both current and future snapshots. Its AI powered end-to-end visual testing and monitoring solution helps developers, test automation engineers, QA professionals, and DevOps teams automatically run visual tests at scale across every app, browser, OS, and screen size. Applitools allows developers to verify that each UI element in each page appears in the right color, shape, position, and size and that it does not overlap or hide other UI elements.   What are visual bugs? I’m sure you’ve all played spot-the-difference games in your childhood, and felt like a genius when you spotted all the differences in under a minute. Those games are fun! Well, Applitools’ visual AI does the same job of finding those visual differences (or bugs) in your mobile or web apps at a much-accelerated speed. See for yourself here. Here are some examples of visual bugs: Text blocking buy button on Southwest Airlines website (Source: Applitools) Search box blocking shopping cart on ThredUp Website (Source: Applitools)   Fragmented Android Market Due to the fragmentation of Android devices market, Android apps may visually behave differently on different devices and therefore, visual testing becomes even more critical for Android apps. With time-to-market becoming an important factor in improving customer experience, there is even more pressure on the QA teams to run these tests across a vast number of devices in the easiest way possible. Testing mobile apps on physical devices or using device farms is cumbersome, slow and expensive to manage and is often a deterrent to scaling their tests on as many devices as possible. To solve that problem, Applitools teamed up with Genymotion to making parallel visual testing far easier for QA engineers. Genymotion Cloud is a powerful Android emulator on the cloud to run your Appium tests and reduce app’s time-to-market. With flexible per-minute pricing, engineers have the ability to manage their testing costs by scaling up or down the number of devices. With Genymotion Cloud, testers at any level can sign up here and try out our solution on-demand, without a contract.   Applitools and Genymotion Cloud Our teams decided to work together with Applitools to solve this common problem that users were facing: Test the visual portions of an app on all the Android devices at the same time. Engineers can parallelize their visual UI tests using Applitools and Appium across all Android Genymotion Cloud virtual devices at once. This allows them to detect bugs as soon as possible and spend less time on test runs. QA engineers appreciate the ability to test their mobile applications on a large number of Android devices and screen sizes which is hard to scale with actual physical devices. Using Genymotion cloud virtual devices will speed up their parallel tests even faster. The collaboration between Applitools and Genymotion cloud allows for faster visual comparison on more configurations while also seeing the previous builds. This article will show you the steps to take in order to parallelize your Appium tests to perform visual testing and run those tests across a number of Android devices on Genymotion Cloud. Running Appium visual tests using Applitools on Genymotion Cloud Write your Appium tests using the Applitools SDK for Appium for taking screenshots for visual testing. You’ll use the udid capability in your tests to define on which Genymotion device you’ll run the tests. This can be known in advance as for Genymotion devices, adb serial is localhost:XXXXX where XXXXX is a port number that can be defined in advance (cf gmsaas below) Launch Genymotion Cloud devices via gmsaas command line. Read here.
