Once you have downloaded the Selenium grid standalone jar put it into its own directory. Putting It All Together Selenium Grid - Hubįor Selenium grid download the latest version of the Selenium server standalone jar from here to one of your Mac Minis. The grid distributes the tests to the registered nodes and effectively decouples the testing from the devices that the testing is being performed on. When a node registers with the grid successfully it can be viewed using the url The tests sent to the grid are sent in parallel from the test framework using whatever parallelisation method the user chooses. Node is a remote device that consists of a native OS and a remote WebDriver. It can be Windows, MacOS or Linux. It receives requests from the Hub in the form of JSON test commands and executes them using WebDriver.Hub is a server that takes instructions from the WebDriver client and executes them remotely on the various nodes in parallel.It works with one server acting as the Hub which routes test commands that are in JSON format to multiple registered Grid nodes. Selenium Grid is a proxy server for parallel testing across multiple machines. Then I will take you through the implementation of this solution. The Selenium Grid Hub will then distribute the tests to the registered nodes each containing their own iOS simulator with Appium server. First, I will explain the components of the setup and how they work.

In this article I will outline how to do this running one or more Appium servers behind a Selenium Grid Hub, and sending all sessions to the Grid Hub. You want to run your tests as quickly as you can with this limited amount of hardware. You have multiple tests for an iOS app and your hardware is limited to a Mac Mini or two. Getting the Most Testing with Available Hardwareįrom our time working with various clients, Amach has come across a recurring problem our clients have had - the issue of hardware for testing, or lack of.
