Using Appium we can run automation tests on actual devices, emulators and simulators. It allows us to automate native, hybrid and mobile web applications. Has support for current and future versions of Android OS What is Appium ?Īppium is an open source, cross-platform test automation tool for native, hybrid and mobile web apps. You are testing apps which are used by the real user.ħ. Doesn't require access to your source code or library. Supports automation of Native apps, Mobile Web apps and Hybrid Apps.Ĥ. Appium can test iOS, Android and Firefox OS platformģ.

Appium supports most of the programming languages like java, Ruby, Python, PHP, C# etcĢ. We have chosen Appium because of its Advantages :ġ.

There are a number of Mobile Automation testing tools available in the market, some are paid and some are open source. Using automation, we can re-use same tests to re-run on different devices and different Operating System. Mobile Automation testing is a highly effective alternative to traditional manual testing which reduces time needed for a testing and achieve quick results. To achieve these challenges, organizations are looking for alternatives to traditional manual testing. But in the recent years, the use of mobile devices is increased drastically and introduced new challenges in testing these mobile apps. We have long been using automation for Desktop applications, Web Applications.
