Test Inside Containers: Dockerize Appium Tests
summary
Shows a reproducible Android setup: a Docker image (about 1.83 GB image) that packages Android SDK, Node, Java 8 and Appium so the Appium server runs as APM server on 4723 with VNC and adb access to USB‑attached real devices. Tests live in a separate container and communicate via mapped ports; a single Docker Compose up builds two containers, runs a React Native slider test against a real device and passes. Claims cut install time, leverages Appium (5,000+ stars, ~2,000 npm downloads/day, ~734 open issues).
