Appium Reviews & Product Details

1. With Appium, the same script can be used for both iOS and Android platforms, requiring only minimal modifications. This makes it convenient to maintain cross-platform test automation.

2. Appium is open source. No license cost needed like Tosca.

3.We can use multiple programming language like python, Java, C#, JavaScript. I am using Python for the integration.

4. It works directly with the .apk or .ipa files which will save time and easy to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1.I turn to Appium only when Tosca is unable to handle certain scenarios, which is why I don't use it frequently. In my experience, testing with Appium is noticeably slower compared to Selenium or Tosca.

2.Issues sometimes I faced like network issue, app crashes or device lagging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one issue I faced a long time ago was the initial setup of Appium. The documentation doesn’t seem to be very user-friendly, so I’ve spent a lot of time for the initial setup. Also, the documentation seems to be more focused on Java users, so I had some problems with resolving code issues since I’m using mostly WebdriverIO+JavaScript.
