Appium Read QRCode

This project shows how to read the QRCode content from an Android App using Appium and ZXing.

Technologies in use

• Java as the programming language
• Appium as the mobile test automation tool
• Zxing as the library to decode the QRCode content
• AssertJ as the assertion library
• JUnit 5 as the test tool to support the test automation script

How to run this project

Preconditions

• Java JDK >=11
• Android Emulator with minSdkVersion used as 16 (Android 4.1 Jelly Bean)

Steps

Running using the command line

1. Go do the project directory and run mvn verify -Dmaven.test.skip=true
2. Run mvn test to run the test

Running in your IDE

1. Open this project in your preferred IDE
2. Open the ReadQRCodeTest class placed in src/test/java
3. Run the test

Expected result

You can expect a successful execution. The test will read the QRCode content and assert by its expectation.

What does the test do

The code does the following:

• Open an Android Emulator (if it's not opened)
• Install the apk placed on app folder
• Open the app main screen
• Takes a screenshot of the screen that has the QrCode
• Send the QRCode screenshot, as Base64, to be decoded by ZXing
• Return the QRCode content
• Assert the QRCode content

Attention You need to have all the necessary configurations to run the test. This project has no intention to describe how you can do it.
