Yes, the requirement you described is possible to implement with Appium for testing both Android and iOS devices. Appium is a popular automation framework that supports testing on real devices and emulators, and it can interact with the device's microphone and camera to simulate a video call scenario.
To play audio stream using the device's microphone, you can use the adb shell command to run audio-related commands on Android devices. Similarly, for iOS devices, you can use the xcrun simctl command to interact with the simulator and simulate audio input.
For Android, you can use the following adb shell commands:
To simulate audio input (i.e., sending audio through the device's microphone):
php code
adb shell media play <path_to_audio_file>
Replace <path_to_audio_file> with the path to your audio file on the computer.
For iOS, you can use the following xcrun simctl command:
To simulate audio input on the iOS simulator:
php code
xcrun simctl io <simulator_UDID> audio <path_to_audio_file>
Replace <simulator_UDID> with the UDID of the iOS simulator you want to target, and <path_to_audio_file> with the path to your audio file on the computer.
To play the video stream using the device's camera, you can use Appium's capabilities to start video streaming and simulate video input during the test.
In Ruby with Cucumber, you can use the Appium Ruby Client to interact with Appium and perform the required actions. Here's a basic outline of how you can achieve this:
Set up the Appium environment for both Android and iOS testing.
In your Cucumber feature file, write scenarios to test the call and video functionalities.
In the step definitions (Ruby code), use the Appium Ruby Client to interact with the devices and execute the required commands.
Before the test scenario that requires audio and video stream testing, use the appropriate adb shell or xcrun simctl commands to set up the audio and video streams.
In the test scenario, execute the video call and verify the mic and video elements are in use.
Remember to handle permissions, such as granting microphone and camera access to the app during testing.
Please note that this is just a basic outline, and you will need to adapt it to your specific testing environment and requirements. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that the audio and video files you use for testing are appropriate for your testing purposes and comply with any legal and ethical considerations.
As a final note, remember that automating video streaming scenarios can be complex and may require careful synchronization and validation. It's essential to thoroughly test and debug your automation scripts to ensure reliable and accurate results.
