The rollout of 5G networks is one of the most anticipated technological developments in recent years. 5G delivers substantially higher speeds, lower latency, and greater capacity than existing cellular networks. These improvements will bring about major changes in how we use and test mobile apps. In this post, we'll explore the key ways 5G will impact mobile app testing.
// Example of a simple React Native app test using Detox testing framework
describe('MyApp', () => {
beforeEach(async () => {
await device.reloadReactNative();
});
it('should show welcome screen', async () => {
await expect(element(by.id('welcome'))).toBeVisible();
});
it('should show login screen after tap', async () => {
await element(by.id('login-button')).tap();
await expect(element(by.id('login'))).toBeVisible();
});
});
// Example using AWS Device Farm to run sample Appium test on cloud device
const { RemoteWebDriver, By, until } = require('selenium-webdriver');
const { DeviceFarm } = require('aws-devicefarm-testgrid-utils');
const test = new DeviceFarm({
// AWS configuration, device settings
});
(async function example() {
const driver = new RemoteWebDriver(await test.getWebDriver(),
await test.getExecutor());
await driver.get('https://myapp.com');
const input = await driver.findElement(By.id('search'));
await input.sendKeys('Hello World!');
const button = await driver.findElement(By.id('submit'));
await button.click();
// Assertions for validation
// ...
await driver.quit();
await test.stop();
})();
