Appium TDD Framework – Page Object Model Explained

By Bhau Automation • Appium Automation Series

🚀 Master Appium TDD Framework

In this tutorial, you will learn how to build a robust Appium automation framework using Test Driven Development (TDD) and Page Object Model (POM). This approach helps create scalable, maintainable, and industry-ready automation frameworks.

🎯 What You Will Learn

  • Appium framework basics
  • Test Driven Development (TDD) concept
  • Page Object Model (POM) implementation
  • Reusable automation design
  • Best practices for mobile automation

📌 What is TDD in Appium?

Test Driven Development (TDD) is a development approach where test cases are written before the actual implementation. It ensures better test coverage, cleaner code, and faster debugging.

📘 What is Page Object Model?

Page Object Model (POM) is a design pattern where each mobile screen is represented as a separate class. This improves:

  • Code readability
  • Maintainability
  • Reusability
  • Framework scalability

🧩 Sample POM Structure

src
 ├── base
 │    └── BaseTest.java
 ├── pages
 │    ├── LoginPage.java
 │    └── HomePage.java
 ├── tests
 │    └── LoginTest.java

🧪 Example Page Class

public class LoginPage {

    @AndroidFindBy(id = "com.app:id/username")
    private MobileElement username;

    @AndroidFindBy(id = "com.app:id/password")
    private MobileElement password;

    @AndroidFindBy(id = "com.app:id/loginBtn")
    private MobileElement loginBtn;

    public void login(String user, String pass) {
        username.sendKeys(user);
        password.sendKeys(pass);
        loginBtn.click();
    }
}

🧠 Why Use TDD + POM?

  • Cleaner automation framework
  • Reusable test components
  • Easy maintenance
  • Industry standard approach
  • Supports CI/CD pipelines

🎯 Who Should Watch This?

  • Beginners in Appium Automation
  • Manual testers moving to automation
  • QA Engineers
  • Automation Framework Designers
