Appium vs. Avo Assure

Appium works well for well-structured mobile applications test automation that is particularly easy to leverage when different pages of the app use similar building blocks. If it takes time for some content in the app to be rendered, ask your dev team to add progress indicators and ensure they are accessible. That might be more complicated to do with Appium, though, if there's no good contact with Dev team established so you can request accessibility IDs added quickly enough when needed. Appium supports another locator strategies as well though (such as xPath or iOS class chain on iOS) but they wouldn't work as fast so you may get really slow tests.

The tool is keyword-driven. If you have logic in mind, it is easy to convert it to script using a vast collection of easy-to-understand keywords.

• Crossdevice: With Appium you can automate tests for Android and iOS both. There is no need to learn more than 1 language.
• Easy: It's really easy to configure and use appium; it's very useful when you're testing strategy is based on "developers write tests".
• Open Source: It's such a nice strength of appium, because you don't need to pay to use a good tool like Appium is.

• Test complex end-to-end business processes spanning web, mobile, SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, desktop and more
• Well-organized interface
• Smart scheduling to run tests in parallel and schedule execution during non-business hours.
• Offers a visual representation of the entire testing component hierarchy with its unique Mindmaps feature and helps define test plans and design test flows with excellent transparency.

• There are a number of expected methods that are not implemented, yet. With a similar sounding name as Selenium with similar functions, people who are familiar with Selenium try to use methods that appear to be available, but give a "not yet implemented" exception when run.
• Documentation can be confusing.
• Setup was a difficult process. This may not necessarily be the case once you figure everything out, but the whole figuring it out process was difficult and I ran into many, many problems when I first started.

I would like to give 9/10 rating to Appium because of it can easily integrate with popular frameworks and CI/CD tools, as well as it is reliable, flexible and easy to use. The setup can bit complex in initial step, but once on configured it's very easy to use and enables stable and scalable mobile automation for real and cloud devices.

Most of mobile testing tools which are available in the market are paid license tools. But Appium is Open source mobile testing tool. We can create customised automation framework using Appium. It also supports various languages such as Java, Javascript etc. And also supports various operating systems such as Android, IOS etc. We can easily integrate Appium frameworks with CI/CD [Jenkins, Git etc].

The Other tool takes more time for debugging if run in large code.

• For cost of ownership, the increase is positive times infinity, as it's free to install and use
• Lead time for suite development can be a negative, if not planned for during sprint planning
• Using Appium to execute tests in parallel across a cloud solution can improve CI/CD cycles by 100's of a percent

• A lot of time has been saved
• Many manual jobs have been automated
