How to Automate Gestures

In the earlier chapters, we learned how to set up and write a basic Appium test. We started with a scenario and learned how to use the Appium inspector and write a few automated tests. We also learned the concept of desired capabilities and saw how to use them. We learned how to add synchronization in tests and the different types of wait strategy Appium allows us to use. In this chapter, we will learn how to automate different gestures, such as the following:

• Tap
• Swipe
• Drag
• Scroll to
• Slider
• Shake
• Long tap
• Orientation

Let's start with each of the afore mentioned and learn its implementation and details.
