Setting up timezone on Real Devices
In automated testing with Appium on LambdaTest, configuring the timezone accurately is crucial for precise testing scenarios. LambdaTest provides support for various timezones, allowing users to customize their testing environments to meet specific requirements.
By default, the timezone for Appium testing on LambdaTest is selected based on the device's default settings. However, users have the flexibility to explicitly specify the timezone using the timezone capability in their desired capabilities.
Timezone Configuration
To specify the timezone for automated tests in Appium on LambdaTest, the timezone capability can be utilized. This ensures that tests are executed in the desired timezone, facilitating accurate validation of application behavior across different regions.
