Open-source app testing tool

Test your mobile, hybrid, and web applications without having to recompile or modify them with the help of this automation tool. Appium is an open-source, comprehensive piece of development software that allows you to perform complex tests on your applications. In a nutshell, this program lets you test apps without the need for an SDK or without having to recompile the app after each testing session. Whether it is iOS, Android or cross-platform app, this incredibly versatile app can automate your app regardless of the programming language you use or what framework is involved. This app will streamline the process of an app test with its clear-cut and user-friendly interface. 

Versatile testing framework

Right off the bat, users should know that Appium is a versatile automation tool. Because it is cross-platform, it makes it possible to perform advanced tests on both iOS and Android platforms using the same API. Basically, you run tests using your favorite developer tools using any programming language. Just make sure that it is compatible with the WebDrive JSON protocol.

Once launched, the app greets you with a compact main window. Appium is mainly a testing program, so don’t be surprised if you find the interface quite barren. You will have two toolbars with an output log panel right in between them. From the toolbar, you can open, search, or test for apps. More, using the designated buttons, you can erase everything from the output panel. You can also access the app’s three configuration sections, appropriately named as Android, General, and Developer settings. 

You can start the local testing server by clicking the button in the upper right corner of the window. For you to get started with Appium, you need to undergo a streamlined and surprise-free installation process. The installation might take a while, though, depending on your device’s resources.
