Introduction

Kobiton is a mobile cloud testing platform that enables testers to perform manual & automated testing of mobile applications. The platform supports iOS and Android real devices. Let’s write a simple Appium test and run the test on the Kobiton cloud platform.

Official Website: https://kobiton.com/

 

Free trial

The service offers 15 days free trial to test the platform. Free users can utilize a limited set of shared cloud devices. Cloud devices for both the iOS and Android platforms are available.

 

Automated Appium Test

Let’s write a simple automated Appium test and run on the iOS device. The test launches the www.TestingDocs.com website on the iOS mobile device and verified the website title.

  public static final String URL = "https://"+USERNAME+":" + ACCESS_KEY +

    capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "13.4.1");
    capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "iOS");
    mDriver = new AndroidDriver<>(new URL(URL), capabilities);
  }

  @AfterTest
  public void afterTest( ){
    mDriver.quit();
  }

  @Test
  public static void launchBrowser(){
    mDriver.get("https://www.testingdocs.com/");
    Assert.assertEquals(mDriver.getTitle(), "Home | TestingDocs", "Check Title");
  }
}
