A few pointers that should help you in your automation:

• Make sure the setup is rock solid. Use the SampleTest provided in this article to test out the setup before you proceed with your automation.

• Use Id/Accessibility Id/Name/ClassName/Predicate String to locate elements, your test will run very fast. Avoid absolute and relative xpaths.

• If you are using a real device and the app is not installed then only that you need is a .app file for testing your app.

• Close the Appium session(quit driver) when your test is over.

• Use Appium inspector to get locators of elements. Read our blog on DevOps and SRE- Selection of Monitoring Tools
