Time that appium takes to run a test

Support
1

I’m new to Appium and I would like to know about the time that it takes to run a test.

This is my scenario:

Real device;

  • My test case: Steps to answer 16 questions (changing the question by clicking on a button) and checking the results.
  • It is taking about 160 seconds to run each test. Is this a normal execution time? I think that it could be minimized if I use “noReset” = true and “fullReset” = false. Am I wrong?

Thanks,

@ppg use below when you need reach some of scenarior. try to use fullReset as less as possible cause it slowest driver start.

                if (devicePlatform.contains("fullReset")) { // reinstall new client version
                    System.out.println("  Driver DO FULL-RESET");
                    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.FULL_RESET, true);
                    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NO_RESET, false);
                } else if (devicePlatform.contains("fastReset")) { // clears cache without reinstall
                    System.out.println("  Driver DO FAST-RESET");
                    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.FULL_RESET, false);
                    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NO_RESET, false);
                } else {
                    System.out.println("  Driver DO NORMAL start");
                    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.FULL_RESET, false);
                    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NO_RESET, true);
                }
            }

Thanks for your answer, Aleksei, but it still slow. When it finishes a @Test takes a looong time to start the next one. I’m using the appium-desktop-Setup-1.2.0-beta.3.

@ppg maybe your test is too long. how fast driver starts? with NORMAL start it should take about 10sec.

5

I have tried test shorter, but it still slow. When can I find the accurate information abou the driver starter? Sorry, I’m really new to Appium.

@ppg give us your code…

@ppg add:

System.out.println("   DRIVER start...");
Long startDriverTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);	

startDriverTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startDriverTime;
System.out.println("   DRIVER started: " + (int) startDriverTime/1000 + " sec");
9

DRIVER started: 90 sec
Do you want some log from Appium server?

10

@ppg 90sec wow :slight_smile: TOO LONG

can you set correctly:

capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.FULL_RESET, false);
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NO_RESET, true);

and try again?

11

DRIVER started: 89 sec
OMG :frowning:

12

@ppg ok - your appium version? enable debug log with timestamp and give output… lets see what takes so long…

13

This is the last version 1.2.0-beta.3 (Start Server v1.6.5). I could try downgrade, what do you think? log_appium.txt (104.9 KB)

14

@ppg pls add “–log-timestamp” when you start driver… there is no any time in logs :frowning:

PS updated!

15

Ok, Should I add this on Appium server configuration?

16

@ppg yes. add and repeat test

17

Updated! log_appium_updated.txt (117.4 KB)

18

@ppg nothing special in log BUT indeed start is SLOOOOOOOW. try to update your device to something at least on Snap 810 CPU

19

I have tried different devices, but it is slow. It’s driving me crazy :smiley: Thanks for your attention!

From developer options, disable all animations. :slight_smile:
