Why testing in Appium framework is so easy.
Appium is free and open-source and easily downloaded from GitHub.
It is designed for mobile and only mobile – Selenium is not designed for mobile but it does support automating mobile applications.
Appium likes automated testing, taking advantage of your developer skills.
- This framework can automate native, web and hybrid mobile apps, and you can test on a real device, a simulator, or an emulator.
- Your test script can use ANY LANGUAGE that Selenium supports (Java, Python, C#, Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, etc.).
- An HTTP server waiting for commands and using standardized JSON manages the WebDriver sessions, so no worries about language or platform restrictions.
- Test scripts created from Appium libraries are LIVE – you can instigate them locally, on a session reserved by the Cloud (say, through TestObject), for any iOS or Android device, for any version.
- Appium drives GUI-related widgets and controls, allowing the same scripts to run for different software versions of various apps.
- Appium integrates with continuous integration servers to ensure better results.
- Appium supports Safari on iOS and Chrome or the built-in ‘Browser’ app on Android.
