Announcing iOS and Android App Testing on SauceToday we are very excited to announce the general availability of Appium on Sauce! Appium is the open source cross-platform mobile automation platform for native mobile, hybrid, and mobile web apps, and it runs on iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android devices and emulators. Appium represents a huge step forward in the fight to make mobile automation a first-class citizen in mobile development. We've been running our iOS-based private beta for Appium on Sauce for a while, and have made many improvements while supporting the development of the Appium open source community. Since then, Android support has matured to the point where we are now offering it in our cloud alongside iPhone and iPad. Soon enough, we'll be releasing the ability to run your Appium tests not only on our cloud of emulators and simulators, but also on real devices. Appium's philosophy is compelling to a wide array of developers, test engineers, and QA professionals, centered around four principles:Test the same app you submit to the marketplace. Write your tests in any language, using any framework. Use a standard automation specification and API. Build a large and thriving open-source community effort. With Appium on Sauce, mobile-focused teams can run their tests across platforms in massive parallel, opening up a world of potential for continuous integration and QA in general. Writing Appium tests is as easy as writing Selenium WebDriver tests, and comes with the same great reporting features. The platform allows users to write tests in any language or test framework, and offers real device testing capabilities soon. To get started, simply create a Sauce account and you'll be good to go, or take advantage of existing access for Sauce users or customers.
