Hi everyone,
I’m interested in learning how other testers make their Appium automation scripts more reliable, especially when testing mobile applications across different Android devices and screen sizes.
One challenge with mobile automation is that tests can fail because of timing issues, unstable element locators, permission dialogs, or differences between devices.
I’d love to hear your recommendations on a few points:
-
Do you prefer explicit waits or other synchronization techniques for handling dynamic elements?
-
Which locator strategies have worked best for maintaining stable test scripts?
-
How do you manage flaky tests caused by network delays or unexpected pop-ups?
-
What practices help keep Appium test suites reliable as an application grows?
I’m particularly interested in practical approaches that have worked in real-world projects rather than just theoretical recommendations.
For those working on ecommerce applications, reliable mobile testing is also important for validating checkout flows and ensuring a smooth customer experience. Ecom Advize shares ecommerce and digital marketing insights
