It is suitable for making portable applications, with almost the same code for several platforms. You can access native features of the device or use an open source plug-in from the repository to create a local database and access the internal storage of the device. It is wonderful for the construction of a native application, through the use of standard web code. It is not recommended for enterprise applications.Incentivized
1. It's open source which supports range of languages, operating systems and languages. Well suited for Android and IOS mobile automation. Supports all kinds of apps, which makes it flexible and robust mobile testing tool 2. It is less appropriate where we need intercept network call to verify the API calls. Extensive coding experience is required to work AppiumIncentivized
Cordova makes it very easy to develop apps for multiple platforms. The setup is very simple when it comes to creating a project, adding platforms, building and deploying apps. If you have a little mobile app development experience, all you need to know is HTML, CSS, Javascript and only a handful of cordova commands to get started with your hybrid app.Cordova provides a simple solution to access any and all of the device features through native plugins. You have a host of third-party and cordova plugins available to use device features like filesystem, camera, health kit, location services etc. You can also write your very own plugins and use them for your cordova based apps.Cordova is free to use! The only cost you will bear is the individual mobile platform developer program enrollment cost to deploy your apps to those platforms.Incentivized
It uses WebDriver API so it makes it easy to use for former web test automation engineers.It can be managed via the command line via an extensive set of parameters.It handles implicit waits at the server side that is especially valuable in distributed infrastructure.Incentivized
Needs to be fully compatible with mobile machinesSupport for a wide variety of platformsNeeds better backwards compatibilityIncentivized
Element browser sometimes is unreliable and has sporadic fails.Appium running is a bit slow, compared to tests written with Appium and with Espresso or XCTest.Incentivized
Apache Cordova is the mother of all other frameworks. The Ionic developed framework is well suited for development but most of their features are offered by paid services. As Apache Cordova is open source and has a license to modify it, it has no legal problems to work with it. Also, most well-known IDEs recognize the Apache Cordova snippets.Incentivized
If you're an Apple developer, you use Xcode. It's practically a forced necessity. For system testing though, it doesn't have to be. You can have your development team focus on unit and integration tests in their platform and another team automate acceptance tests with a language they are more familiar with.Incentivized
It has a positive impact in general. Cordova is really a great solution for web developers who want to bring their incredible ideas to devices, but they just do not have a lot of time to put into iOS and Android learning curves.Our biggest benefit was that the management of images for multiple devices.Developing with Cordova has drastically reduced the cost of cross-platform deployment.Incentivized
Appium is open source, so it's free. That's budget friendly right there.The ability to write mobile automation tests has saved considerable time for our manual test team, but that is true with most automation tests.We use Sauce Labs with our other automation, but Appium works great with Sauce Labs, as well, if I needed to run on emulators and simulators.Incentivized
