Appium is an open-source tool for automating native, mobile web, and hybrid applications on iOS devices, Android devices, and Windows desktop platforms. It also supports automation tests on physical devices as well as an emulator or simulator both.
Native apps are those kinds of applications that are written using the iOS, Android, or Windows SDKs.
Write once and run on multiple platforms (operating Sy) because as we all know, the software industry is running behind in mobile applications. If you have looked at the app store and Google Play store daily, there are thousands of apps being uploaded. But, we all know that each application's success totally depends on the user experience, or how easy it to use the app. But, this kind of success must be verified by Quality Assurance (QA) Engineers. In the last few decades, we can see the most popular development methodology is “Agile Methodology”. So, we do enough testing, but not enough to assure the quality in each release because of manual testing. In this case, we need automation testing tools such as opium, robotic, but even more so, we need to choose the complexity of the application.
Some advantages of automation include:
The beauty of Appium for mobile testing is that its tests can be written in any programming language including Python, Ruby, Java, JavaScript, and C#. While we have covered extensive Appium tutorials, in this article, we'll walk through how to automate Appium tests in parallel against our real devices using TestNG Java sample tests.
