appium introduction
SLIDE 4
“Mobile is taking over the world.” So how do we scale mobile quality?
SLIDE 5
Testing and QA are important but painful. We want more code, less tap!
SLIDE 6
Risk grows with complexity. Small changes can have huge unintended consequences
SLIDE 7
Automated testing is the solution for a fast dev cycle that maintains high quality
SLIDE 8
Continuous Integration is awesome: automated testing + automated deployment
SLIDE 9 The Dev Cycle of Optimal Happiness

appium architecture
SLIDE 22
appium is an HTTP server that creates and handles WebDriver sessions
SLIDE 23
Selenium WebDriver has been the standard for browser automation
SLIDE 24 Selenium WebDriver is a HTTP API
POST /session POST /session/element GET /session/element/:id/:attr
SLIDE 25
Selenium WebDriver has clients in every* language
SLIDE 26
Selenium WebDriver is a W3C working draft*
SLIDE 27
appium extends the WebDriver protocol with mobile-specific behaviors
SLIDE 28
appium is working with the Selenium project so we can standardize these extensions
SLIDE 29 Automation Voodoo
Apple Instruments & UIAutomation for iOS Google UiAutomator for Android (4.2.1 up) Selendroid for older Android & hybrid Marionette for FirefoxOS

appium scale
SLIDE 49
appium is great for local test development, but has limitations when scaling up for use in CI
SLIDE 50
Sauce Labs is great for scale when you need to run a lot of appium tests in your build
