Link to Appium Example - Java copied to clipboard

The following Appium example is written in Java and assumes the use of Appium's java-client. The logic is transferable to other clients.

important

Before running the Appium test, ensure the apk being passed into Appium runs axe DevTools on the screens you want to test with. The purple floating action button should be displayed within your app. Check out our guide to setting up your app for Appium testing.
