The document compares different GUI automation tools for testing mobile applications. It discusses the complexities of the mobile landscape with different operating systems, screen sizes and resolutions. The selection criteria for an automation tool includes supporting Android and/or iOS, being a first or third party tool, and using coordinate-based or object-based automation. Tools examined include MonkeyRunner, UI Automator, Cloud Monkey and Appium. Appium supports both Android and iOS applications, uses the WebDriver protocol, and is open source. Real devices are preferable to emulators for testing. Elements should have unique IDs and tests may need modification if the app UI changes.

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

We develop almost identical apps for both Android and iOS. Maintaining separate test suites becomes an overhead over a period of time as the test suites begin to grow. We hare now gradually moving our test infrastructure to Appium so that we can have a single test repo which is easy to maintain.

Mobile application testing on iOS or Android can be quite a challenge for a Quality Assurance team. One reason is that mobile applications are often required to function on a variety of devices featuring different hardware capabilities, configurations, and specifications. Many different types of testing including automation are required to cover different areas of the application. Many people believe that automated testing may replace manual testing almost entirely. In reality, however, automated testing is still not able to cover all the types of testing that manual testing does. Automation Mobile Testing: framework, tools, some suggested solutions.
Benefits of using native automation tooling for mobile application testing.pptxMesut Günes
Regarding the automation of mobile applications, we have two kinds of choices. The first
is going with native automation frameworks such as Espresso for Android and XTCUITest for iOS applications, or going with non-native tools such as Selenium-based tooling (Appium, Selendroid, Robot Framework, many others), Calabash or also many other paid frameworks.
I want to clarify the differences between native and non-native toolings for mobile UI automation. Both tooling ecosystems have advantages and disadvantages, so people are confused about which is best for them.
Non-native tools such as Appium that dominated mobile automation for a long time and people have gained a lot of experiences with it so they want to continue using Appium, also Calabash which is older than Appium and it was also very popular for some time. On the other hand, these tools always need to deal with the latest update coming from the latest versions of the Android and the iOS ecosystem. If not those tools would be in history. For example, Calabash almost became useless for the latest versions after Microsoft acquired it and they stopped supporting it.

DEPLOYMENT OF CALABASH AUTOMATION FRAMEWORK TO ANALYZE THE PERFORMANCE OF AN ...Journal For Research
The use of mobile phones has grown rapidly and has become a vital part in the present era. The conventional software testing practices are not really feasible for mobile applications. Test Automation does not cover all the necessary features, which makes manual testing also very crucial. The challenge is even greater. The problem is even greater in projects where agile methodologies are deployed. In such projects Test Automation plays a very significant role and is very important during the development cycle. The Automation Framework should be deployable on multiple heterogeneous platforms. The actions that are frequently used in the mobile devices are extracted. They are then mapped into the corresponding functions of Calabash testing framework.The objective and intention of this paper is to bring out significant merits and demerits of different Automation Frameworks and then use the Calabash Automation Framework to develop the Performance Analysis module which can effectively determine the launch time of the mobile application.

Abstract
With the growing number of mobile apps and their agile development life cycle,
Automation testing around them will no longer be optional. The intent of this paper is to
present a comparison between the widely used mobile automation tools in order to
determine their ease of use & effectiveness. We picked up a typical Adobe mobile app,
tested its GUI manually & then followed it up by a round of automation testing using these
tools. This paper list down the technical nuances involved while choosing any such tool for
user specific scenario.

All elements in the UI should have a unique resource id.
The App UI has changed: Get ready for modifying your test script.
Say NO to sleeps and xPath.
iOS Automation: You need code access or debug build.
