Project Summary

1. Assist UPS Mobile Automation Team in transformation of older Android 4.4 automation code stack to newer Android 10 to be compliant with new mobile devices drivers are being assigned.
2. Refactor tests to be compatible and remove old, depreciated or redundant code that is no longer needed or required for testing.

Final Results

Worked alongside UPS Automation development team to accelerate the transformation of the existing code base to support Android 10 and be able to test the new devices in the field.

Leveraging connectivity with physical devices that are connected via Android Studio, over 200+ mobile automation tests were updated and brought compliant with new devices while removing 50 tests that were depreciated and resulted in the removal of thousands of lines of code allowing for a smaller and more compact automation suite to run.

Verified updated tests could run against Android 10 and 11 with no failures and test data was utilized without issue.
