Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "With version 1.6, Appium has provided support to UiAutomator 2. Appium uses the appium-android-bootstrap module to interact with UI Automator. "

A block of code is set as follows:

@Before
public void startAppiumServer() throws IOException {
    AppiumDriverLocalService appiumService = 
    AppiumDriverLocalService.buildDefaultService();
    appiumService.start();
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

automationName: XCUITest

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Clicking on Start Session will launch a new Appium inspector screen, as illustrated."
