Is there any way to increase the speed of test execution using appium

Issues/Bugs

Hi,
I am using Cucumber+Page-Object+Appium+Android+Chrome. I use ruby for scripting and ours is a mobile web application. Is there any way to increase execution speed of test run as it is taking too much time to perform any kind of web page related event link traversing through listitems, clicking a element etc.

Kindly share me if there is any solution for this.

Thanks,
Chan

If you are using AVD emulator for your test, switch to Genymotion to run your test (3 times faster)
Ignore above If you are using real device :smile:

Hi Anki,
Thanks for your reply. Just now I started with downloading GenyMotion.
Is it same like working with Android studio. (Is it better to add the genymotion plugin to Android Studio or just work with Genymotion itself for execution).

So there is no way to improve the execution speed with real device.

Thanks
Chan

parallel test runs are very useful IMO, but that doesn’t really answer your question.

We use real phones and we do not have much problem with speed.Of course iOs client with simulator much faster. But anyway we run about 30 not simple tests with many steps in less then 40min. Real device faster then genymotion with our practise. Also genimotion have some limitations.
