We're using it to automate large regression tests that by now we're running manually. Appium let us improve our release process duration and increase the speed of the regression phase, giving us the option of reducing the manual testing team to one person.
At the moment, Appium is working with TestObject because with these 2 working together it's possible to increase the device coverage and the speed of the whole release process with a nice quality level.,Crossdevice: With Appium you can automate tests for Android and iOS both. There is no need to learn more than 1 language.
Easy: It's really easy to configure and use appium; it's very useful when you're testing strategy is based on "developers write tests".
Open Source: It's such a nice strength of appium, because you don't need to pay to use a good tool like Appium is.,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.,9,Improvement in Release Process Speed

Work with iOS, your first thought is to use Xcode and write a suite alongside your unit and integration tests using Swift, but you don't need to. Utilizing Appium allows you to create a full-featured automation suite with one of many powerful languages other than Swift, yet access the full gamut of commands available XCUITest. Choosing Java, for instance, allows you to create a suite with JUnit and structure the project's execution with all the availability of Java's support libraries.,Offers an excellent user interface application to assist in designing cases by previewing app screens and retrieving names of the elements you intend on interacting with
Provides a generally accessible documentation suite on the web, which you will reference quite often
Handles the connection between Appium's server and Xcode's tools during execution well,Execution against live iOS devices can be quite slow. This will likely be improved in the near future
Challenging for a new user to take on without guidance from a veteran
Upgrading to a new version of Xcode before the tool is updated can render you suite useless, until an update is available,10,For cost of ownership, the increase is positive times infinity, as it's free to install and use
Lead time for suite development can be a negative, if not planned for during sprint planning
Using Appium to execute tests in parallel across a cloud solution can improve CI/CD cycles by 100's of a percent,Xcode,Sauce Labs, ReactBrian SmithAppium is the Only Way To Go for Mobile Automation!2017-10-12T20:19:16.291ZAt this time, my team is only using Appium, but this will most likely change as other teams have automation needs with mobile devices. The main reason why Appium is a good choice for us is that it allows for tests to interact easily with both Android and iOS devices. Instead of using one toolset for Android and another for iOS, Appium combines how automation functions with each platform and puts it all into one library.,Allows for a one-stop library to interact with both Android and iOS devices.
Appium has the backing of Sauce Labs, so there's considerable support for this library.
It's free! Open source with a lot of community support.,There are a number of expected methods that are not implemented, yet. With a similar sounding name as Selenium with similar functions, people who are familiar with Selenium try to use methods that appear to be available, but give a "not yet implemented" exception when run.
Documentation can be confusing.
Setup was a difficult process. This may not necessarily be the case once you figure everything out, but the whole figuring it out process was difficult and I ran into many, many problems when I first started.,9,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.,xcode and android sdk,Selenium, PyCharm, GitHubRandall KelleyBest Fit Mobile Automation tool for native, web and hybrid Android and IoS applications2017-09-25T20:49:50.744ZIt is an indispensable tool for mobile automation and helps a lot in converting manual test cases to automated scripts.
