Testim.io, from Tricentis since the February 2022 acquisition, leverages machine learning for the authoring, execution and maintenance of automated test cases. Testim uses dynamic locators and learns with every execution. It is designed to produce fast authoring and stable tests that learn, thus eliminating the need to continually maintain tests with every code change.

Chose Appium
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 …
The main reason we selected Appium is that we had people experienced in WebDriver API and some framework solutions in place, so given our setup, it provided a faster and cheaper kick-off. Another reason we selected Appium was that SauceLabs had pretty good support for Appium …
Appium is a wrapper of selenium and is available for mobile based applications. It has also the similar features as selenium has for website automation. Together both provide a combined solution for automating web and mobile apps. Can provide end to end automation with a …
Appium is comparable with Calabash because it's the only cross-platform tool like appium. Espresso is only to automate Android tests and XCTest is only for iOS. We selected Appium because it solves a lot of automation situations and gestures of the mobile apps. We've used …
If you're an Apple developer, you use Xcode. It's practically a forced necessity. For system testing though, it doesn't have to be. You can have your development team focus on unit and integration tests in their platform and another team automate acceptance tests with a …
Hard to compare Appium to Xcode and Android sdk because Appium uses them, but those are the only comparisons I could come up with to compare Appium with another product. I'm sure there may be other mobile automation tools, but none are as mainstream as Appium or with the …
Appium is one of the most valuable fully featured open-source tools with good support for iOS and Android mobile automation which cannot be matched even by enterprise tools.
Testim is more easy to use than Tosca. maintaining scripts easily with AI integrated feature gives a upper hand to Testim than Tosca. Also less coding skill is required for Testim than Tosca.
I have tried selinum jest cucumber before it ... but the locator maintain was a hectic task for mine... I find this to be better as compared to above and our future is based on AI itself
We evaluated several other products, and what gave Tricentis Testim the edge was the ease of use, the customer support and the pricing. While others seemed to have a bit more complex functionality, we have been able to build almost every use case the way we would expect, with …
Tricentis Testim provides features like Codeless Automation, Rapid Test creation, Self healing tests, parallel test execution which Selenium lacks. Secondly Tricentis has reduced maintenance and ease of adoption.
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.
Well Suited for: Web Application Testing: It excels in automating tests for web applications, including e-commerce websites, CRM systems, and internal web-based tools. Its codeless approach and AI-driven test creation make it suitable for testing various web applications. Regression Testing: It is well-suited for regression testing, where existing test cases need to be executed repeatedly to ensure that new code changes do not introduce defects. Testim's self-healing capabilities help maintain test stability when the application's UI changes frequently. Cross-Browser Testing: Tricentis Testim is an excellent choice for cross-browser testing. It allows organizations to create tests that can be executed across different web browsers, ensuring consistent functionality and user experience. Not suited for: Complex Desktop Applications: Tricentis Testim is primarily designed for web application testing. It may be less appropriate for automating tests of complex desktop applications or applications that do not have a web-based UI. Highly Technical Testing Needs: Organizations with highly technical testing requirements, such as complex API testing or intricate database testing, may find Testim's codeless approach limiting. Specialized testing tools may be more appropriate.
It provides a codeless testing environment, allowing non-technical users such as business analysts and testers to create and maintain automated tests without writing code. This democratizes test automation and accelerates test creation.
The platform leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms to analyze user interactions with the application and automatically generate test scripts. This significantly reduces the time and effort required to create test cases.
Its AI capabilities enable tests to adapt to changes in the application's user interface (UI) automatically. If UI elements change, the platform can identify and update the tests accordingly, reducing maintenance overhead.
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.
Providing more comprehensive reporting and analytics capabilities, including customizable dashboards and insights into test execution results, could help users gain deeper insights into their test coverage and quality.
Expanding integration capabilities with a wider range of external systems, tools, and test management platforms could increase flexibility and interoperability within the testing ecosystem.
Enhancements in organizing and managing test scenarios and test suites could improve the user experience. Features such as better folder structures, tags, and hierarchical organization could make it easier to manage large test suites.
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.
The customer support is the best I have ever experienced, both personally and in a job role. The chat anytime is a very nice option, there has never been more than a few minute wait to connect with someone, and the agents are very knowledgeable and helpful.
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].
We evaluated several other products, and what gave Tricentis Testim the edge was the ease of use, the customer support and the pricing. While others seemed to have a bit more complex functionality, we have been able to build almost every use case the way we would expect, with very few workarounds.
