    priority for organizations.

     Fortunately, Mobile development tools are evolving to


    meet these needs, with modern dev teams.

    Development of Mobile Apps has become faster

     But, what about the Testing approaches??


    Testing Mobile Applications is:
     More complex
     Time consuming
     Platform Variations
     Quality Concerns

    So, alike Manual Mobile Testing process,


    we should also adopt
    Mobile Automation Testing
    Why Mobile Automation

    How Appium works?

    Working
    Architecture
    Working Architecture of Appium on Real
    Devices/Simulator
    Working flow:
    1. From Web-driver, Automation Commands are sent in form
    of JSON via HTTP request to Appium Server.

    2. Appium Server invokes Vendor specific mechanism to


    execute those commands on the Mobile-Device.

    3. Client sends back the message to the Appium Server.

    4. Appium Server logs the result in the console of the Web


    Driver.
