1. Mobile Automation Environment Setup (Appium + UiAutomator2 + Inspector) Name: Akshit | Reg No: 12205575

2. Install Prerequisites Java JDK (8/11 preferred) → set JAVA_HOME Node.js + npm → required for Appium Android Studio → for SDK, AVD emulator ADB (Android Debug Bridge) → comes with Android SDK Verify installs: java -version | node -v | npm -v | adb version

3. Install Appium Install Appium globally: npm install -g appium Install Appium Doctor: npm install -g appium-doctor Check setup using: appium-doctor

4. Install UiAutomator2 Driver Command: appium driver install uiautomator2 Verify installation with: appium driver list UiAutomator2 is the default Android automation driver

5. Configure Android Environment Open Android Studio → SDK Manager → Install SDK Tools + API Levels (e.g., API 30) Set Environment Variables: ANDROID_HOME Add to PATH: $ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools and $ANDROID_HOME/tools Check device connection: adb devices

8. Start Appium Server & Inspector Start Appium server: appium Default server URL: http://127.0.0.1:4723 Paste Desired Capabilities in Inspector → Start Session

9. First Test Script (Python Example) Import webdriver from appium Define desired capabilities as JSON Connect using: webdriver.Remote('http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub', desired_caps) Locate element (e.g., driver.find_element('accessibility id', 'Login')) Perform action (e.g., click) Quit driver after execution

10. Conclusion Appium is a cross-platform automation tool for mobile apps. UiAutomator2 is recommended for Android automation. Inspector helps to identify locators for automation. With prerequisites installed and configured, you can begin writing and running automated tests.
