Deep linking uses a hyperlink that points to a specific piece of web content on a website (for example http://directaccount.chickenshack.com) rather than the website's home page (for example "http://www.chickenshack.com"). The URL contains all the information needed to point to a particular item inside that site.
Deep links are becoming more and more useful. For Android, however, you need to ensure that the coding in your test is correct. Otherwise, nothing will happen.
To run a deep link test on Android, you need the following information:
- The Application Identifier
- The URL of your deep link to test on
- The Enable Appium behavior capability (see this article)
To access the URL of your deep link, use a standard driver.get() command.
If you need assistance with deep linking for iOS, see this article.
