Mobile Testing (Appium)

Automate iOS and Android apps. Master Appium to write one test script that runs on both platforms using the WebDriver protocol.

Mobile automation is critical for app quality. This course covers Appium, the standard for cross-platform mobile testing. You will learn to inspect elements using Appium Inspector, handle gestures (swipe, pinch), and manage hybrid apps (WebViews). We cover setting up the complex environment (Android SDK, Xcode), running tests on Emulators/Simulators, and scaling to real devices using cloud farms like BrowserStack.
