📱 Appium Meetup Tokyo #2 is On the Way! Our Popular Mobile Test Automation Event is Back, and It's Better Than Ever!

This is Nakanishi from the Developer Relations Group. The second Appium Meetup Tokyo, following the excitement of the first event, will be held at KINTO Technologies' Muromachi Office on Wednesday, May 28, 2025. The previous session featured practical Appium use cases and dramatic performance improvements, which were very well received by many attendees.

🎯 Highlights of This Event

In this event, engineers working on the front lines will share practical know-how and the latest techniques to take mobile app E2E testing and automation to the next level.

• Tips and practices for cause investigating Appium test failures (Masayuki Wakizaka, MagicPod Inc.)

  • Learn concrete debugging techniques to quickly pinpoint and fix failures in mobile E2E testing! This session will walk through practical examples using Appium Inspector and cover troubleshooting with WebDriverAgent.

• Initiatives for building a VRT environment for mobile apps (Hidenori Takahashi, Casio Computer Co., Ltd.)

  • Introducing an example of automating visual regression testing (VRT) using Appium in the Flutter app CASIO WATCHES! We'll dive into hands-on approaches for solving issues and boosting efficiency in a Scrum development environment.

• Goodbye, manual link checks! Fully Automating URL Checks in Native Apps with Appium (Fumiya Oka, Pann Nu Wai, KINTO Technologies)

  • While automating link checks is easy on the web, it's long been considered difficult to achieve in native apps due to technical constraints. We'll share detailed know-how and clever tricks to fully automate link verification in native apps using Appium, overcoming technical roadblocks.

• A little trick for smooth, stable scrolling with Appium (Taiju Muto, Autify)

  • Get bite-sized techniques that can be used immediately in practice! This session will showcase a few small tweaks that brings big improvements.
