Appium

Lesson 01 — Appium 2 ArchitectureA beginner-friendly introduction to Appium 2 — what it is, how its three-part architecture works, and how to install everything you need to start automating mobile apps.

Lesson 02 — Sessions and CapabilitiesLearn what a "session" is, how capabilities work as configuration for your test, and how to write correct capability objects for both Android and iOS — including the most common mistakes and how to fix them.

Lesson 03 — Finding Elements: Locators and Stable TestsLearn how to find elements in your mobile app reliably — which locator strategies to use, how to choose between them, how to use Appium Inspector to discover element attributes, and how to organize your locators using the Page Object Model.

Lesson 04 — Building Your First Appium Test ProjectLearn how to turn Appium concepts into a working JavaScript test project. This lesson walks through a practical WebdriverIO + Appium structure, configuration, Page Object classes, hooks, and a complete login test that starts and closes sessions cleanly.

Lesson 05 — Gestures, Waits, and App LifecycleLearn how to automate mobile behavior that does not exist on desktop web: swipes, scrolling, long press, app backgrounding, orientation changes, and permission dialogs. This lesson focuses on reliable patterns and explains why hardcoded coordinates and sleeps create flaky tests.

Lesson 06 — CI, Cloud Devices, and Appium MaintenanceLearn how Appium tests move from local emulators to CI and cloud device farms. This lesson covers environment variables, artifacts, device selection, cloud capabilities, parallelism limits, and maintenance habits that keep a mobile suite useful instead of flaky.
