Appium
WebdriverIO's Appium integration is the smoothest way to write mobile automation tests in JavaScript. The @wdio/appium-service handles starting and stopping Appium automatically, the configuration is declarative, and the same test code works against iOS and Android with minimal platform-specific branches. This guide covers setting up

Appium's XCUITest driver wraps Apple's XCUITest framework, which means iOS automation runs through the same testing infrastructure that Xcode uses natively. This gives you full access to iOS platform capabilities — but it also means understanding how WebDriverAgent (WDA) works and how to configure it correctly for

Simulators and emulators catch most bugs, but some issues — memory pressure, thermal throttling, hardware-specific rendering, carrier network behavior — only appear on real devices. Device farms give you access to hundreds of real iOS and Android devices without maintaining physical hardware. This guide covers running Appium tests on the three

axe-core is the most widely deployed accessibility rules engine in the world, and it works inside Appium test suites — not just on the web. By injecting axe-core into WebView contexts within hybrid and cross-platform apps, you can run the same accessibility rules in your mobile CI pipeline

Meta Quest runs Android under the hood, which means your Android testing toolchain — ADB, Appium, logcat, am instrument — works on Quest with some configuration. This guide covers device setup, Appium with UiAutomator2 for Quest UI automation, OVR Metrics for performance testing, and running Unity tests directly on device. Meta Quest

One of WebdriverIO's most powerful capabilities is its integration with Appium for mobile testing. Using the same framework for browser automation and mobile testing means your team shares knowledge, tooling, and even some code across platforms. This guide covers setting up WebdriverIO with Appium to test iOS and

Appium and Espresso are the two most popular frameworks for Android UI testing. They can both automate your app and verify user flows — but they do it in fundamentally different ways, and choosing the wrong one costs real time. Here's the breakdown. The Core Difference Espresso runs inside

Python is one of the most popular languages for test automation, and Appium has a first-class Python client. If your team already writes API tests or browser tests in Python, you can extend that work to mobile apps with the same tools and patterns. This guide covers Appium with
Testing
Appium is the most widely used framework for mobile app automation. It lets you write tests once and run them on Android and iOS using the same API — whether your app is native, hybrid, or a mobile web app. This tutorial walks you through everything: installing Appium, setting up your
