I’m using Appium for my company’s Automation Testing Framework. However, the company won’t allow me to download an Android Emulator (or even install HAXM) b/c of 3rd party issues.

How may I set up my Appium-Tests without the need for an emulator?

I understand that it is similar to Selenium WebDriver that it needs to visually emulate the task. But, if there’s a workaround, I’d appreciate it.

Preferably, I like to use Eclipse IDE. But, if you can only provide solutions with Android Studio or IntelliJ, I’ll be just as happy.

Thank you for your response. But, my company doesn’t have such an option available.

Are there methods to bypass any phone usage? No emulator or real device.

Headless technologies are still based on the same engines. For Android Roboelectric3 library might be a direct analogue from this perspective, but it is used for unit/integration testing rather than end to end one.

Thank you and sounds like something I’ll look into.

But, if you find something related to Appium, let me know and I’ll look into it too.

Thank you for your help.
