About:
Appium is an open-source test automation framework for use with native, hybrid, and mobile web apps across iOS and Android platforms. It drives iOS, Android, and Windows apps using the WebDriver protocol, enabling cross-platform automated testing. Its main value proposition is allowing developers to write tests against multiple platforms using the same API.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform (iOS, Android, Windows)
  • Uses WebDriver protocol (W3C)
  • Supports multiple languages (Java, Python, JS, Ruby, C#)
  • Works with native, hybrid, and mobile web apps
  • No app modification required
Use Cases:
  • Continuous integration for mobile apps
  • Regression testing across device fleets
  • Automated UI testing for app releases
Alternatives:
  • Espresso – Android-only, tighter integration but platform-specific
  • XCUITest – iOS-only, native Apple framework
