Apium (Test automation)

What is Appium?

Appium is an open-source test automation framework for mobile applications. It enables automated testing of native, hybrid, and mobile web apps on iOS, Android, and Windows platforms. Appium follows the WebDriver protocol (like Selenium) and allows writing tests in various programming languages, such as Java, Python, JavaScript, or Ruby.

Appium interacts with mobile devices or emulators without requiring modifications to the app under test. It supports both real devices and virtual testing environments.

Key features:

• Cross-platform testing (one test script for both iOS and Android)

• No need to modify the application

• Easy integration with CI/CD pipelines

Typical use cases:

• Automated UI testing for mobile apps

• Cross-platform mobile testing

• Regression testing on mobile devices
