Xamarin & .NET Developer Events in August
With Xamarin Test Cloud, our goal has always been to provide a mobile app testing service that developers love while solving the challenges that prevent testing from being a seamless part of the development process. Developers writing Xamarin Test Cloud tests have the choice of using Ruby and the Calabash testing framework or C# with Xamarin.UITest.
Today, we’re excited to announce that we’ll be adding support for writing tests with the Appium automation framework and its multiple language bindings, including Java, JavaScript, Python, and PHP, and we’d like to invite you to join our early access program.
A Fully-Integrated Testing Framework
Xamarin Test Cloud gives developers a fully-integrated testing framework by tightly integrating Calabash Ruby and C# Xamarin.UITest with our device cloud infrastructure, reporting capability, and development environment integration. Including the community-led Appium testing framework in Xamarin Test Cloud allows us to help even more developers increase app quality by eliminating challenges that hold back most mobile testing initiatives: deep integration with your development processes and environment and a device management infrastructure that saves thousands of hours and dollars managing devices.
Developer Productivity
Xamarin Test Cloud automates the execution of your tests, helping you find bugs earlier in the development process and preventing regressions. It integrates with popular Continuous Integration (CI) systems like Jenkins, TeamCity, and Team Foundation Server to automatically initiate tests and report results back into CI systems. New features in Xamarin Studio and Xamarin for Visual Studio upload and execute tests to Xamarin Test Cloud directly from the developer environment, making app testing a seamless part of the developer experience.
Appium developers will be able to take advantage of Xamarin Test Cloud’s device management infrastructure, which utilizes real devices running multiple operating system versions and automatically loads, unloads, and securely restores each device to factory OEM standards between each test run, saving thousands of hours of manual labor and device expenses.
Get Started
If you’re already using Appium and are interested in being part of our early access program, let us know by filling out this form. You don’t have to be a Xamarin customer – your participation and feedback is important! We can’t offer access to everyone on day one, but Appium will soon be a fully supported framework alongside Calabash and Xamarin.UITest in Xamarin Test Cloud.
We’ll be doing a live webinar on Xamarin Test Cloud on Wednesday, July 8 at 8:30 am PT covering different mobile testing methodologies and providing an in-depth overview of how it works, along with other the exciting plans in our product roadmap. Click here to register.
Keep building great apps!
