Developer’s problems with mobile testing
● create one application for Android and iOS
● prepare automation tests for mobile apps
● find easy to use framework for tests
● develop one tests for both iOS and Android app version
Mobile is taking over the world
● It’s a multi-platform age. Mass adoption requires cross-platform apps.
● Where is our mobile automation? Our mobile CI?
Here comes Appium
● Appium is a cross-platform solution for native apps
and hybrid mobile solution
● The philosophy of Appium is based on 4 rules

You shouldn’t have to
recompile your app or modify it
in any way in order to automate it.

You shouldn’t be locked into
a specific language or framework
to write and run your tests.

A mobile automation framework shouldn’t
reinvent the wheel when it
comes to automation API’s.

A mobile automation framework
should be an open source,
in spirit and practice as well as in name!

Appium is using vendor-provided automation frameworks.
That way you don’t need to compile in any third-party code
|or frameworks to your app.
