Quick recap - 1

Congratulations !!

You authored your first test, executed it from the command line (via Gradle task), Also saw the Allure report in few minutes.

Recap of capabilities#

1) Appium Driver Management#

Nowhere we created a Appium Driver instance and manage it. Ekam takes care of creating, managing, and disposing of driver instances out of the box.

2) Creation of Screen classes & Page factory#

Nowhere we created instances of Screen classes. Also, no need for Screen factory. In the traditional approach, we create a Page/Screen factory to supply screen objects. Both creation of Screen classes instances and Screen Factory are not needed anymore and Ekam manages & serves Screen Objects out of the box.

3) Atoms#

Nowhere we dealt with MobileElements, Wait statements & Waiting-related strategies. Ekam provides abstractions over MobileElements and has wait strategies taken care of out of the box.

textbox, element - abstractions over MobileElements

query functions would allow you to declare By statements for locators

4) Gradle tasks to execute tests#

We did not have to author Gradle tasks to execute tests. It is readily available. More can be created in the same lines on a need basis.

5) Allure reporting out of the box.#

Nowhere we wrote code to create Allure reports

6) Generate code#

The IntelliJ IDEA plugin for Ekam is generating code, to accelerate authoring.
