AppiumAppium is an open source test automation framework for use with native and hybrid mobile

apps.

Native vs hybrid app

Appium Philosophy

Rule 1 You shouldn't have to recompile your app or modify it in any way in order to

automate it.*

iOS: Apple's UIAutomation Android 4.2+: Google's UiAutomatorAndroid 2.3+: Google's Instrumentation. (Instrumentation support is provided by bundling a separate project, Selendroid)

Rule 2 You shouldn't be locked into a specific

language or framework to write and run your tests.

Rule 3 A mobile automation framework

shouldn't reinvent the wheel when it comes to automation APIs.

Rule 4 A mobile automation framework should be open source, in spirit and practice as

well as in name!

It’s open source!

Appium server installation* > brew install node # get node.js

> npm install -g appium # get appium

> appium & # start appium

> write and run your tests
