Appium: The Untold Story – Dan Cuellar & Jason Huggins

About this video

Today, Appium is the defacto standard for automating mobile apps, but it hasn’t always been that way. Not long ago, many questioned the purpose, philosophy, and even the usefulness of Appium. Those who actually used it suffered with frequently breaking builds and many missing and broken features.

Dan, along with special guest Jason Huggins, will tell the story of how Appium came to be and how it rose to popularity and eventually overcame its initial problems. They will share some never before told stories and recount some lessons learned along the way. Lastly, they will spend some time sharing ideas for future testing tools and sharing their wildest fantasies/prophecies as to the future of testing, which they hope you will find at least entertaining
