Xamarin Forms with Appium UI Test Automation

Using C# and Appium, this project attempts to automate UI testing of a Xamarin Forms App, with a single test code base in mind. The beauty of using C# is that you can use the same Visual Studio IDE and obviuosly the power of C# in your UI Tests.

Roadmap

• Compare this with a Java based Appium Test against the same Simple App
• Compare with a Xamarin based UI Test

Steps

• See Appium Getting Started Guid
• Install Appium Doctor

npm install appium-doctor -g

• Make sure all the tests pass from appium-doctor
• run Appium
• Deploy the applications for Android and iOS as per usual from the IDE
• Take note of your installed Similator/Emulator names and update the InitAppiumOptions method in TestLoginPage_iOS and TestLoginPage_Droid respectively
