Appium is an open source tool for mobile application. It is a bridge or we can say in simple terms it is a mediator between PC and mobile.<\/p>\n

It supports three types of mobile application i.e. native, web application and hybrid.<\/p>\n

Native Applications\u00a0are developed for use on a particular device or platform. It is installed directly on a mobile device and developers create a separate app version for each mobile device.<\/p>\n

Mobile web application are called mobile website and can be accessed through browser by hitting the URL.<\/p>\n

Hybrid application combines elements of both native and web applications. Like mobile native apps, you can find and download mobile hybrid apps using the Google Play Store or the Apple\u2019s App Store.\u00a0Similar to mobile web app, a mobile hybrid app would look alike to a mobile website that can be accessed by hitting an URL in the web browser.<\/p>\n

For example Web apps, such as online banking services or locally stored native apps, such as Microsoft Excel.<\/p>\n

To install an Appium we need .net framework<\/p>\n

What are the desired capabilities?<\/p>\n

Desired Capabilities are a set of keys and values sent to the Appium server to tell the server what kind of automation session we are interested in starting up.<\/p>\n
