- I'm now Director of Open Source at @saucelabs! Very excited to become even more involved in our open source ecosystem. Stay tuned :-) ๐ป
- How do you use Appium to test user flows involving multiple users and devices that need to coordinate and interact? Super excited that at long last Appium Pro covers this oft-asked question. appiumpro.com/editions/118-tโฆ
00:00 - Awesomeโa new Appium driver by @hugs for Arduino that translates Appium actions to usb mouse events for iOS. Enables automation of iOS completely untethered from a Mac. Thatโs 2 new IoT drivers in 2 days!
00:00 - I've been working on a standalone version of Appium Desktop's Inspector, because the Server and the Inspector are really two different apps. Try out the beta! It's smaller and faster (docs forthcoming).
- After almost 6 years, today is my last day at @saucelabs. It has been an incredible privilege to help take it from a 9-person startup to an industry-defining company, and I am eternally grateful. Stay tuned for my new project (good news for you @AppiumDevs and @saucelabs fans)!
- Big news: I'm joining HeadSpin as Director, Learning and Education Programs! Appium Pro is set to get even better. Read all about what we're up to together:
- Trying something new: this Friday at 2p PDT I'm going to live stream some app automation! I'll pick an app I've never written Appium scripts for before and see what user flow(s) I can automate in ~30-45 mins. Think of it like automation happy hour!
- Self-driving cars confused by hipsters on fixies. (No, this isn't a @microsff story, it's real! buff.ly/1F1hPkx)
- Appium 1.16 is out! Did you know there's a Flutter driver in beta? Also, improvements to working with Shadow DOMs in mobile safari, a feature to access Android sensor data, and more!
- HUGE update to the Appium Inspector released today! Build and save Multi-touch Actions/Gestures to replay. Let us know how it works. github.com/appium/appium-โฆ
00:00 - I'm super excited to have just finished the first first draft of Appium 2.0's new plugin architecture! It's the part of Appium 2.0 I'm most looking forward to seeing you innovate with. Start dreaming up what plugins you will write! (github.com/appium/appium/โฆ)
- My Appium & Selenium fundamentals course is almost done with the closed beta! (Stay tuned as we'll open up public registrations soon). Fun fact: the transcripts for the 20+ hours of videos are weighing in at about 150,000 words. That's like a 5-600 page book!
- The Appium team has announced a maintenance and EOL plan for Appium 1.x. Basically, it will be bugfix-supported for 6 months following the release of Appium 2.0. Appium 2.0 has been in beta for well over a year, time to kick the tires if you haven't yet! github.com/appium/appium/โฆ
