This document provides an overview of test automation using Cucumber and Calabash. It discusses using Cucumber to write automated test specifications in plain language and Calabash to execute those tests on Android apps. It outlines the environments, tools, and basic steps needed to get started, including installing Ruby and DevKit, creating Cucumber feature files, and using Calabash APIs to automate user interactions like tapping, entering text, and scrolling. The document also explains how to run tests on an Android app and generate an HTML report of the results.

Test automation
- 1. Test Automation Using Cucumber and Calabash Xavier Yin 201/01/15
- 2. Outline Introduction – Testing – Comparisons – Automation Testing Tool – Implement Steps Environments – Ruby Installer – Devkit – Rails and Calabash-Android Implements
- 3. Testing Unit Testing – A software testing method by which individual units of source code Integration Testing – A phase in software testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested as a group. Regression Testing – A type of software testing that seeks to uncover new software bugs, or regressions
- 4. Manual and Automatic Manual Automatic High Effort and Cost requirements Low Effort and Cost requirements Time consuming Quick, allows test engineers to focus on functional areas Tests are not reusable Complete reusability based on type of implementation Mostly used for integration tests Can be used for any tests including load, sanity, system, etc Risk of human errors Script validates all areas once tested
- 6. Cucumber A framework for writing software specifications A tool for executing those specifications – Specifications are written in a readable language that is close to natural language. – Scenarios – user behavior driven tests – Steps – combine mobile operation and logic
- 7. Calabash A tool – Predefined and custom steps – Reuse of tests across platform possible – For BDD-style acceptance testing Run on physical devices or simulators Support for webview Ruby based Cross-platform mobile testing tool – Cucumber: Android or IOS testing
- 8. Implement Steps Describe behavior in plain text Write a step definition in Ruby Run and watch it fail Run and watch it success Write code to make the step pass
- 9. Describe behavior in plain text Feature – Descriptions Scenario – Descriptions – Preconditions – Steps Given When And But Then
- 10. Write a step definition in Ruby
- 11. Run and watch it fail Fail – Red light and notifications
- 12. Write code to make the step pass Modify
- 13. Observer Results and Reports Success – Green light like a cuke
- 14. Ruby Installer Download RubyInstaller Install – Check the option named “Add Ruby executables to your PATH” – Test it Using “ruby –v” on cmd window – Observer Show “ruby 2.0.0p353 (2013-11-22) [x64-mingw32]”is success.
- 15. DevKit Download DevKit in a folder which you want to save – For Instance: D:DevKit Navigate the folder on cmd window – Using “ruby de.rb init” Check the file named config.yml is existent Using “ruby dk.rb install”on cmd window
- 16. Rails and Calabash-Android Using “gem update --system” and “gem install rails --no-ri --no- rdoc”on cmd window Install Rails – Using “gem install rails --no-ri --no-rdoc” Test it – Using “rails –v” on cmd window It is successful to show “Rails 4.0.2” Using “gem install calabash-android” on cmd window
- 17. Prepare Test Cases Create a Cucumber skeleton in your Android project – Using “calabash-android gen” on cmd window Create a *.feature file – That is a test case file including features, function descriptions or scenarios.
- 18. Given, When and Then Given – your preconditions When – describe the key action Then – observe outcomes or an assertion And, But – Using it if you have several givens, whens or thens.
- 19. Basic API Find out a view - Query(uiquery, *args) – You can find views and other application objects, and make assertions about them or extract data from them, and query returns an array of its results. For instance:
- 20. Basic API Touch - touch(uiquery, options={}) – Touches a view found by performing the query uiquery. For instance:
- 21. Basic API Entering text - enter_text(uiquery, text, options={}) – Taps the first element returned by uiquery, then enters text into the view. For instance:
- 22. Basic API Tap - tap_when_element_exists(uiquery, options={}) – Waits for an element and taps it when it appears on screen. It raises an exception if the element doesn't appear within the timeout. For instance:
- 23. Basic API Scroll - scroll_down and scroll_up – Scrolls the first instance of 'android.widget.ScrollView' either downwards or upwards. For instance:
- 24. Run your APP and generate a report Using “calabash-android run apkName.apk –format html –out reports.html” on cmd window
