Appium Desktop Test Automation Milestone: 60,000 test executions over 2 years for 300-test regression suite

Free and open-source Appium/WinAppDriver is a feasible solution to Test Automation for desktop apps.

With today’s regression run (for my Desktop App: TestWise) in the BuildWise CT server, I reached two milestones:

• The test case count reached 300.

• The total test executions exceeded 60,000 times over 2 years.

Some might think: “300-test does not sound a lot.” It really depends on the type of tests. 300 unit tests or API tests might not be much, but 300 automated End-to-End UI Tests (Level 3 of the AgileWay Continuous Testing Grading) is a big deal. To give you a perspective, I run all 300 tests in a CT process which is triggered when a code change is made. I have full confidence in this regression suite; if it passes, a production release will follow.
