PROBLEM
Playwright is the next generation of testing, but it only supports web testing. Appetize enhances Playwright’s capabilities by enabling deeply integrated testing on native mobile apps, giving you unparalleled power and flexibility for your mobile and web tests.
Playwright can simulate mobile devices by emulating screen sizes and using mobile browsers, but it doesn't test the native app experience. This means even major app issues can slide under the radar.
Precious developer time is spent on engineering projects related solely to your testing infrastructure, rather than fixing bugs or releasing new features. Tests can take hours to complete, grinding developer momentum to a halt.
Flaky tests can mislead developers and testers into thinking an app is either working fine (when it’s not) or failing (when it actually works). This leads to wasted time investigating non-issues or overlooking real bugs. Root causes are difficult to chase down.
SOLUTION
Appetize enables you to build and run simple automated tests for your mobile apps while benefiting from the many tools that Playwright offers.
Appetize lets you test your actual app natively on the devices you choose – no need to modify your apps for testing purposes. With Appetize and Playwright, you can test browser, mobile, and external apps simultaneously.
Using Appetize and Playwright lets you run multiple test scripts across a wide range of devices, ensuring that your app works consistently across different screen sizes, resolutions, and hardware configurations without the need to manually test each device.
Virtual devices are consistent and resilient. Appetize can eliminate variables like hardware differences or OS-level inconsistencies while making it easy to replicate and debug flaky test scenarios. Easily trace issues and resolve them quickly.
“Prior to using Appetize here at Abbott, our app development team was struggling to provide a way to demo, test, and simulate iOS and Android environments for our app portfolio. The previous platform we used was clunky and slow.”
Appetize’s lead solutions engineer Pieter Snyman recently spoke at droidcon Berlin about reliably testing mobile and web apps with a single test suite using Playwright. Pieter spoke about how Appetize’s solution for mobile and web app testing addresses several key challenges, offering a unified approach that simplifies the testing process
Appetize makes it easy to run end-to-end tests on Android and iOS mobile apps – right in your browser. To help identify and fix issues even faster, we’re sharing our testing expertise. In this blog post, we’re covering testing development best practices by showing you how to implement Page Object
