Mobile Automation with Appium
Appium is an open source test automation tool for mobile applications. It allows you to test all the three types of mobile applications: native, hybrid and mobile web.
Appium Testing
Appium is an open-source tool for automating native, mobile web, and hybrid applications on iOS and Android platforms. Native apps are those written using the iOS, Android, or Windows SDKs. Mobile web apps are web apps accessed using a mobile browser (Appium supports Safari on iOS and Chrome or the built-in ‘Browser’ app on Android). Hybrid apps have a wrapper around a “webview” – a native control that enables interaction with web content. Projects like Phonegap, make it easy to build apps using web technologies that are then bundled into a native wrapper, creating a hybrid app. Importantly, Appium is “cross-platform”: it allows you to write tests against multiple platforms (iOS, Android, Windows), using the same API. This enables code reuse between iOS, Android, and Windows test-suites.
Appium helps reduce the shipping time of mobile applications. Automating the test cases allows the testers to validate more features faster. Thus, it helps ship the product faster. The test scripts can be made to run on actual devices if available. If not, the same can also be run on emulators/ simulators. Written in Node.js, Appium server implements the selenium web driver that allows platform independence. This enables the user to run the same code on Android and IOS devices. Another advantage is that Appium scripts can be written in all the scripts supported by Selenium; for example, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, and Python or C#, among others. It does not modify mobile applications as calabash automation tools do.
In the current pool of automation tools available for mobile application automation, Appium tool is a clear winner in terms of versatility. We have a well-supported and dedicated team of experienced mobile app development professionals and testers.
