Appium training
Overview
- Appium is an open source test automation framework for use with native, hybrid and mobile web apps.
- It drives iOS, Android, and Windows apps using the WebDriver protocol.
- Multiple devices can be easily tested by Appium in parallel.
This tool mainly focused on IOS and Android applications that were limited to mobile application testing only. - Appium is very much similar to the Selenium Webdriver testing tool. So, if you already know Selenium Webdriver, Appium becomes very easy to learn.
- Appium has NO dependency on mobile device OS because it has a framework that converts the Selenium Webdriver commands to UIAutomator and UIAutomation commands for Android and iOS respectively, that depends on the device type rather than the OS type.
- It supports several languages such as Java, PHP, Objective C, C#, Python, JavaScript with node.js, and Ruby, and many more that have Selenium client libraries.
- Selenium is the backend of Appium that provides control over the functionality of Selenium for testing needs.
