## How it works

1. 1

### Step 1: The exam

20 questions drawn from 30, 30 minutes, pass mark 80%. Not the knowledge-check questions. Explanations after grading; retake after 24 hours, up to 3 attempts in 7 days.

2. 2

### Step 2: Run the WebdriverIO + Appium suite on TestingBot

2 passing Appium app tests in the build `certificate-appium-webdriverio` on 2 different device configurations, in the last 30 days.

How to run it

Run the calculator suite you built in this course on TestingBot, on at least **two different device configurations** (for example an Android and an iOS device, or two Android versions), with at least **two passed sessions** in the build `certificate-appium-webdriverio`. Real devices, emulators and simulators all count.

  1. Install the TestingBot service and export `TB_KEY` and `TB_SECRET`, as in [Running tests on TestingBot](https://testingbot.com/resources/courses/appium-webdriverio/tests-on-testingbot).

  2. In `wdio.testingbot.conf.js`, set the build name in `tb:options` of **every** capability:

  3. Use the sample apps (`https://testingbot.com/appium/sample.apk` and `sample.ipa`) or your own app uploaded to TestingBot Storage. The page objects from [The Page Object Model](https://testingbot.com/resources/courses/appium-webdriverio/page-object-model) let the same spec run on Android and iOS.

  4. Keep `services: [['testingbot']]` in the config. The service reports each test's passed or failed state to TestingBot; sessions without a status do not count.

  5. Run `npx wdio run wdio.testingbot.conf.js` and check in the dashboard that the sessions are listed under the build and marked passed.

See [Group Tests](https://testingbot.com/support/app-automate/appium/options#build) for the build option.
