The past few months I have been heads-down in stabilising my Real-Device Mobile Test Lab - which we now call MAD LAB (Mobile Automation Devices LAB) .
For those who may not recollect, see my past posts for reference -
Along with my colleagues, we have put in lot of effort in setting up MAD LAB and have now added a lot of rich features to help running tests, seeing the results and making sense out of them easier.
- All infrastructure management is implemented now in groovy (instead of gradle as shared earlier).
- All automatic test execution is managed via Jenkins file
- Actual test implementation is done in cucumber-jvm / java
List of features currently implemented:
- Device management (selection, cleanup, app install and uninstall)
- Parallel test execution (at Cucumber scenario level) - maximising device utilisation)
- Appium server management
- Adb utilities
- Managing periodic ADB server disconnects
- Custom reporting using cucumber-reports
- Video recording of each scenario and embedding in the custom reports
Contents of MAD LAB:
- 1 Mac Minis - running various Jenkins Agents
- 2 Powered USB hubs
- 8 Android devices
Here are some pictures from the setup.
There are many more features, in various stages of implementation, being added to make MAD LAB more powerful.
Sneak peek into whats coming:
- Analytics Testing
- Trend and Failure Analysis
- iOS
- Web
- A transformed MAD LAB
Finding MAD LAB interesting? Some very interesting changes are coming in soon. Watch out for my next blog post for that.
