I am using Visual Studio 2019 to code Blazor. I find it really annoying that I have to run the app in order to see the screen design. Does anyone know if there's a WYSIWYG tool or feature, so that I can look at the screen design w/o running the app? Thanks!
So since there's known, I have been doing this way...and so far my productivity is higher than running the app. Since I am constructing smaller Razor components, I have been constructing the styling on Codeply and move the styling back to VS once it's confirmed working. Pretty similar to what Quango has suggested. Still wishing there's a WYSIWYG feature from VS.
I have used Appium in Mobile automation with IOS and Android. I wanted to know about advantages that offers Calabash and if there are common point in generated scripts of both tools?
I have followed this link : Appium VS Calabash
I have hands on in mobile automation quite a long time. let me tell my point of view on both tools.
both also have advantage and disadvantage find below:
I have used calabash and appium both for automation. Appium has more advantages than calabash.
Advantages of Appium over Calabash:
1. You can write your code in multiple language like Java,Python, C#, php etc. However, Calabash restrict to use RUBY only.
Appium comes with many predefined methods such as OpenNotification(), StartActivity(), InstallApp etc. Calabash does not provide such predefined methods.
Appium set up is very easy as compared to Calabash.
In calabash, it installs the app on the device every time you run the test. However, In appium you have a feature where in you don't need to install the app every time. It works with previously installed app on the device.
Appium works with both native and hybrid app.
There are many advantages of appium. I hope this helps.
Try them both for yourself.
I found calabash easier to get started. I had a complete user flow test working from setup to working test in Calabash in half the time it took for Appium.
I don't like using xpath. It makes tests brittle and subject to breakage if something in the layout changes. Appium requires mainly the use of xpath. Calabash allows you to drive actions and interactions through the selection of elements by their text . I prefer this because that same text is normally in the designs and/or requirements.
Some comments in other posts are not accurate. Calabash does not require the install of the app every time unless you don't look beyond the surface. There is a simple means to enable/disable it. I have logic that runs either way based on passing an argument. Calabash has more than enough existing methods to interact with your app. It has a built in debug that allows you to tinker with element interaction and those same calls can be copied and reused in your test code. Using it with getgauge.io provides reporting akin to the built in Cucumber but is easier to run multi-threaded and easier to write your feature/spec files.
Be fair to both tools and yourself. Create a simple project in each and try for yourself. Don't make a decision solely based on someone else's opinion.
There is no common part in the automation scripts since Calabash uses query for interacting elements but Appium uses selenium find functions.
The best part of the Calabash is that you can use cross-platform frameworks for automating ios and android application with same feature file and most part of automation code. However the worst part is that Calabash is Ruby only.
Look at this post for more details about the differences of Calabash and Appium.
Since you have already read the differnces , Few things to note that Calabash can also be used with Xamarin which is also a good tool to test hybrid apps and you can run the same script for ios and android apps with some minor changes.Also it has been now integrated into visual studio,so microsoft support is inevitable and some users might feel comfort factor.Lambda expressions are also a plus.A major setback with the Calabash however that it only uses ruby.
Appium on the other hand can support various languages which is plus and you can use webdriver as well.However it struggles with hybrid apps but you can overcome that functionality by using google chrome mobile view to find coordinates to click.one thing for sure is that sause labs have many bugs to fix in Appium yet.
I know it would be possible to do Behavior Driven Development in AX by adding code for every form and then using that to drive the development cycle.
But it seems as if we're starting right at the bottom.
Are there any existing ISV solutions that have tried something like this, so that we wouldn't have to start from scratch?
AX has Unit Test build in which could be a small start.
For a full blown BDD tool pack you would have to rely on third part tools.
Check Axaptapedia as well.
I need to automate opening and closing of an application, be able to manipulate and verify component functionality within the app, and be able to modify configuration data in the iOS Settings. I think I already know the answer to this one, but is there any testing tool that can handle these requirements? Is Squish and its ilk capable of doing this on an Android OS?
Squish is now capable of automating opening and closing of applications on iOS as well as Android. I don't know if that was the case back in 2013 when you asked this, but I am going through all unanswered Squish questions now.
Is there a tool for BlackBerry java application UI development. I do not find drag and drop options in xml file in eclipse like in Android SDK. Is there something like Droid Draw here too? I am new to BB Java dev, any pointers are appreciated.
Unfortunately no... There is no designer tool for blackberry ui, it must all be done in code. I heard that RIM plans on coming out with something of the kind but there is no such tool available at the moment.
There are tutorials on how to create many of the common UI, if you are searching for something specific I'm sure you can find some sample code to get you started.
