axe DevTools Mobile integration with Appium

Prerequisites

• Access to Digital.ai Continuous Testing

• Application (APK / IPA) uploaded to the Application Manager

• API Key for axe DevTools Mobile

• Appium Tests running against Appium Version 2.11.3 or above

Digital.ai Continuous Testing integrates with axeDevTools for Mobile to help incorporate accessibility testing into your regular automation test workflows. Adding accessibility scans to your Appium Tests can help to capture important accessibility gaps within your applications. Let’s take a look at a simple Appium Test setup that would invoke accessibility scanning:

@BeforeMethod
public void setUp() throws MalformedURLException {
      desiredCapabilities.setCapability("accessKey", ACCESS_KEY); // Digital.ai's Access Key
      desiredCapabilities.setCapability("deviceQuery", "@os='android'");
      desiredCapabilities.setCapability("appium:automationName", "UiAutomator2");
      desiredCapabilities.setCapability("app", "cloud:com.experitest.ExperiBank/.LoginActivity");
      desiredCapabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.experitest.ExperiBank");
      desiredCapabilities.setCapability("appActivity", ".LoginActivity");
      desiredCapabilities.setCapability("appiumVersion", "2.11.3");
      driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("https://<your_cloud_url>/wd/hub"), desiredCapabilities);
      Map<String, Object> settings = new HashMap<>();
      settings.put("apiKey", API_KEY); // axe DevTools API Key
      driver.executeScript("axe:scan", settings);
  }

While this example is in Java, we support multiple languages. To learn more, head to our Quick Start Projects page on GitHub.
