Automated Mobile E2E Testing
summary
Built an internal automated end‑to‑end system that runs on Jenkins using a Python Appium client, originally tethered via Sonic but improved by replacing Sonic with Xcode devicecontrol + iproxy and spinning up a per‑job Appium server for stability. A Singapore device farm has ~13 iOS and 10 Android devices behind two Mac minis. Test suite is ~200 sandbox and ~20 production cases, finds ~30 bugs/crashes pre‑release, captures screenshots, recordings, view trees and logs, and runs tests in parallel to cut wall time roughly tenfold.
