optics-framework 1.7.1

A flexible and modular test automation framework that can be used to automate any mobile application.

Optics Framework

Optics Framework is a powerful, extensible no code test automation framework designed for vision powered, data-driven testing and production app synthetic monitoring. It enables seamless integration with intrusive action & detection drivers such as Appium / WebDriver as well as non-intrusive action drivers such as BLE mouse / keyboard and detection drivers such as video capture card and external web cams.

This framework was designed primarily for the following use cases:

1. Production app monitoring where access to USB debugging / developer mode and device screenshots is prohibited
2. Resilient self-healing test automation that rely on more than one element identifier and multiple fallbacks to ensure maximum recovery
3. Enable non-coders to build test automation scripts

🚀 Features

• Vision powered detections: UI object detections are powered by computer vision and not just on XPath elements.
• No code automation: No knowledge of programming languages or access to IDE needed to build automations scripts
• Supports non-intrusive action drivers: Non-intrusive action drivers such as BLE mouse and keyboard are supported
• Data-Driven Testing (DDT): Execute test cases dynamically with multiple datasets, enabling parameterized testing and iterative execution.
• Extensible & Scalable: Easily add new keywords and modules without any hassle.
• AI Integration: Choose which AI models to use for object recognition and OCR.
• Self-healing capability: Configure multiple drivers, screen capture methods, and detection techniques with priority-based execution. If a primary method fails, the system automatically switches to the next available method in the defined hierarchy

📦 Installation

Install via pip

pip install optics-framework

---

🚀 Quick Start

1 Install Optics Framework

Note: Ensure Appium server is running and a virtual Android device is enabled before proceeding.

mkdir ~/test-code
cd ~/test-code
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install optics-framework

⚠️ Important: Conda environments are not supported for easyocr and optics-framework together, due to conflicting requirements for numpy (version 1.x vs 2.x). Please use a standard Python virtual environment instead.

optics setup --install Appium EasyOCR
optics init --name my_test_project --path . --template contact

Available Keywords

The following keywords are available and organized by category. These keywords can be used directly in your test cases or extended further for custom workflows.

🔹 Core Keywords

• Clear Element Text (element, event_name=None)
  Clears any existing text from the given input element.
• Detect and Press (element, timeout, event_name=None)
  Detects if the element exists, then performs a press action on it.
• Enter Number (element, number, event_name=None)
  Enters a numeric value into the specified input field.
• Enter Text (element, text, event_name=None)
  Inputs the given text into the specified element.
• Get Text (element)
  Retrieves the text content from the specified element.
• Press by Coordinates (x, y, repeat=1, event_name=None)
  Performs a tap at the specified absolute screen coordinates.
• Press by Percentage (percent_x, percent_y, repeat=1, event_name=None)
  Taps on a location based on percentage of screen width and height.
• Press Element (element, repeat=1, offset_x=0, offset_y=0, event_name=None)
  Taps on a given element with optional offset and repeat parameters.
• Press Element with Index (element, index=0, event_name=None)
  Presses the element found at the specified index from multiple matches.
• Press Keycode (keycode, event_name)
  Simulates pressing a hardware key using a keycode.
• Scroll (direction, event_name=None)
  Scrolls the screen in the specified direction.
• Scroll from Element (element, direction, scroll_length, event_name)
  Scrolls starting from a specific element in the given direction.
• Scroll Until Element Appears (element, direction, timeout, event_name=None)
  Continuously scrolls until the target element becomes visible or the timeout is reached.
• Select Dropdown Option (element, option, event_name=None)
  Selects an option from a dropdown field by visible text.
• Sleep (duration)
  Pauses execution for a specified number of seconds.
• Swipe (x, y, direction='right', swipe_length=50, event_name=None)
  Swipes from a coordinate point in the given direction and length.
• Scroll from Element (element, direction, scroll_length, event_name)
  Scrolls starting from the position of a given element.
• Swipe Until Element Appears (element, direction, timeout, event_name=None)
  Swipes repeatedly until the element is detected or timeout is reached.

🔹 AppManagement
