Appium Example

Link to Appium Example copied to clipboard

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 application.app being passed into Appium runs axe DevTools on the screens you want to test with axe?.showA11yFab() and is connected to the dashboard with AxeDevTools.login(...).
