Tool Information

Introduction

Tool Summary

Appium is an open-source tool for automating native, mobile web, and hybrid applications on iOS and Android platforms. Native apps are those written using the iOS or Android SDKs. Mobile web apps are web apps accessed using a mobile browser. Hybrid apps have a wrapper around a "webview" -- a native control that enables interaction with web content. Projects like Phonegap, make it easy to build apps using web technologies that are then bundled into a native wrapper, creating a hybrid app.Appium is "cross-platform": it allows to write tests against multiple platforms (iOS, Android), using the same API. This enables code reuse between iOS and Android testsuites.

Features

Opensource Automation tool
Supports native, mobile web, and hybrid applications on iOS and Android platforms
Supports Safari on iOS and Chrome or the built-in 'Browser' app on Android
Is Cross-platform - standard automation APIs on all platforms.
Allows to write tests using any WebDriver-compatible language such as Java, Objective-C, JavaScript with Node.js (in promise, callback or generator flavors), PHP, Python, Ruby, C#, Clojure, or Perl with the Selenium WebDriver API and language-specific client libraries.
Appium drives various native automation frameworks and provides an API based on Selenium's WebDriver JSON wire protocol.
Appium allows for true cross-platform native mobile automation.
Appium drives Apple's UIAutomation library for iOS support, which is based on Dan Cuellar's work on iOS Auto.
Android support uses the UiAutomator framework for newer platforms and Selendroid for older Android platforms.
FirefoxOS support leverages Marionette, an automation driver that is compatible with WebDriver and is used to automate Gecko-based platforms.

Requirements

Your environment needs to be setup for the particular mobile platforms that you want to run tests on. See below for particular platform requirements.

If you want to run Appium via an npm install, hack with or contribute to Appium, you will need node.js and npm 0.10 or greater (use n or brew install node to install Node.js. Make sure you have not installed Node or Appium with sudo, otherwise you'll run into problems). We recommend the latest stable version.

To verify that all of Appium's dependencies are met you can use appium-doctor. Run appium-doctor and supply the --ios or --android flags to verify that all of the dependencies are set up correctly. If running from source, you may have to use ./bin/appium-doctor.js or node bin/appium-doctor.js.

You also need to download the Appium client for your language so you can write tests. The Appium clients are simple extensions to the WebDriver clients. You can see the list of clients and links to download instructions at the Appium clients list.
