14. Introducing Appium
Open source test automation framework
Works for both native and hybrid mobile apps
Uses WebDriver JSON Wire Protocol
external SDK, No Re-compilation
knowledge of underlying app source code

15. Introducing Appium

16. WebDriver JSON Wire Protocol
Selenium WebDriver – the de-facto industry standard for browser
automation
Currently a W3C Working ‘Draft’
Appium runs a HTTP Server managing WebDriver sessions
Server listens for commands, executes on device/ simulator and
