This document discusses how to speed up Appium tests through parallelization and distribution. It introduces AppiumTestDistribution, a tool that distributes UI tests across multiple devices to run tests in parallel. Typical optimizations discussed include method-level test distribution, monitoring processes like ios_webkit_debug_proxy, and dockerizing Appium servers. Links are provided to resources on setting up Appium and implementing the Page Object Model pattern for tests.
