Deep Dive into Appium for Flutter App

July 1, 2021

By

Flutter is an open source toolkit by Google that helps developers, designers, and product managers speed up app development and create high-end user experiences. Despite its advanced capabilities and support, Flutter has its own testing libraries, but it usually requires a debug build. Appium helps to run tests against both a debug build via Appium-Flutter-driver and a release build with appium-uiautomator2-driver or Appium-xcuitest-driver.

In this webinar, you’ll learn more about the Flutter driver, how to install and use the Appium Flutter driver and Appium uiautomator2, and alternatives to the Flutter driver. This webinar focuses on automation for Android, but you’ll learn a few tips for iOS as well.

Specifically, we cover:

Overview of the Flutter in UI test perspective
Understanding the Appium Flutter driver for Android
Understanding the Appium UiAutomator2 driver for Android
Automating Flutter with Appium-Flutter-driver and appium-uiautomator2-driver
Alternatives to the driver: Automating Flutter without Appium Flutter Driver
Tips on automating Flutter applications on iOS devices

This is the link to the sample code referred to in the webinar.
