Appium is an open source (Apache 2 License) test automation framework dedicated to mobile app testing. It allows writing UI tests using the same language (Javascript) with the same APIs (Selenium Webdriver) used by automation engineers to write tests for their browsers. Therefore, it is suitable for developers who want to learn Android automation testing through a different perspective. Here are the steps to get started: 1. Download and Install Appium from the Github repo. 2. Check out the official Appium blog for tutorials and examples. 3. Check out www.appium.io for information on the project. 4. Read the Appium Documentation.
