• Target environment: iOS, Android, REST API

• Basic Requirements: Implement automated test by Appium for the existing Cordova app.

Project Background

Eaton Secure Connect App is a mobile app to give a user ability to connect to one or more intruder alarm panels and able to controlling and monitoring their installed intruder alarm (the logs report and output from the alarm panels)

 

We finished the frontend development of the mobile Cordova app and integrated it with the backend API (The API server is remote and hosted by the client).

 

Appium is an open source test automation framework for use with native, hybrid and mobile web apps. We need to leverage Appium to implement an automated test for the mobile app.
