What is it?
 Native App – A native app is an app which is built for a specific
platform using specific technologies like Xcode for iOS and Java for
Android.
 Hybrid App – A hybrid app is an app which uses native as well as
web technologies to bring best of both worlds.
 Html5 App – Html5 app is not installed on a phone. It runs on a
browser and built using web technologies such that it is fully
optimized for screen it runs on.

Market overview
 Facebook moved away from HTML5 apps
 Twitter uses hybrid app approach
 A lot of ecommerce sites have HTML5 based mobile websites
 LinkedIn also recently moved to native app

Appium Philosophy
 Appium was designed to meet mobile automation needs according
to a philosophy outlined by the following four tenets:
1. You shouldn't have to recompile your app or modify it in any way in
order to automate it. you're testing the same app you're shipping
2. You shouldn't be locked into a specific language or framework to write
and run your tests
3. A mobile automation framework shouldn't reinvent the wheel when it
comes to automation APIs. extended the JSON protocol with extra
API methods useful for mobile automation
4. A mobile automation framework should be open source, in spirit and
practice as well as in name

Client/Server Architecture
 Receives connections from a client
 Listens for commands
 Executes the commands on a mobile device
 Responds with an HTTP response representing the result of the
command execution

Appium Architecture

Session
Session Object
 Clients initiate a session with a server in ways specific to each
library
 All libraries end up sending a POST /session request to the server,
with a JSON object called the 'desired capabilities' object
 the server will start up the automation session and respond with a
session ID which is used for sending further commands

JSON
 Desired capabilities tell the Appium server what kind of automation
session we're interested in starting up
 There are various capabilities which can modify the behavior of the
server during automation (e.g. tell Appium that we want an iOS session, rather than an Android one)
Desired Capabilities

Appium Server
 Appium is a server written in Node.js.
 It can be built and installed from source or installed directly from
NPM

Appium Clients
 There are client libraries which support Appium's extensions to the
WebDriver protocol. When using Appium, you want to use these
client libraries instead of your regular WebDriver client.
