Appium Example - Kotlin
The following Appium example is written in Kotlin 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 axe.showA11yFab(activity)
and is connected to the dashboard with axe.connect(...)
. Check out our guide to setting up your app for Appium testing.
