Lambdatest became an appium strategic partner to accelerate cellular test automation

Hey QA Community! We announced our strategic partnership with Appium, one of the most widely used open-source frameworks for cellular test automation.

As part of the Lambdatest open source program, this collaboration is a step forward in our ongoing efforts to invest in open-source testing ecosystems and empower developers and examiners who use appium.

From community supporters to strategic partners: Our journey with Appium

Appium has become part of our story in Lambdatest for a long time. At first, we were only users who were happy. We join the community, share feedback, contribute where we can, and continue to build.

But when we grow, as well as our appreciation for what Appium exactly: not only the test framework, but a living and developing project that is powered by a group of extraordinary groups and contributors. That’s when we knew it was time to switch from becoming a supporter to a true partner.

We are now committed to supporting Appium not only with words, but with action, offering financial support to help projects grow and scale. This is the way we say thank you, and easily, making it easier for the community to continue to do the best: Build a better future for cellular testing.

What does this partnership mean to us?

For us, this partnership is a step in supporting one of the most widely used open-source tools in cellular test automation. Appium has helped the QA team around the world to test the Android and iOS applications efficiently, and now we are proud to contribute to their future in a much larger way.

That means our technical team is directly involved. We will work with appium maintenance to fix bugs, develop new features, and help form a road map. Open-source tools like Appium are just as strong as the community behind them, and we are here to do our part in keeping the momentum running.

• For the Appium community: This means more hands in the deck to help keep the project move forward. That means faster updates, better performance, and more innovations for everyone who uses appium.
• For Lambdatest users: This means deeper integration with appium. You will see faster support for new appium features, better real device testing, and more smooth experience on our cloud platform.

With Appium, testing is not just about finding bugs – this is about building trust in every tap, friction, and interaction that your user will experience.

How does Lambdatest contribute to the Appium ecosystem?

As part of this partnership, Lambdatest offers financial sponsors to help the appium contributor ecosystem. We also provide support for scale, infrastructure improvement, and new features development.

Lambdatest also offers a real device cloud where developers and examiners can take advantage of the Appium framework to run their tests on 10,000+ real android devices, making it easier to increase their cellular automation efforts without investing in the physical device laboratory.

Feature:

• Test with popular programming languages: Automated Appium with all the main programming languages ​​such as Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, etc.
• Parallel Test Execution: Run the appium test in parallel on several devices to speed up the test cycle and reduce execution time.
• Simulation of Movement and Interaction: Automatically moves such as tap, friction, scroll, zoom, and long press on real devices.
• Validation of Original Features: Original application behavior tests such as push notifications, media playback, purchases in applications, and more.
• Application Profile: Metric monitors application performance such as CPU, memory, battery, and network use during testing execution.
• Debugging Tools: Log access to access, log appium, video recordings, screenshots, and network logs for comprehensive debugging.
• Analytics Test: Track the insight of the session level, the pace of graduation/failure, the history of the execution, and the filter of the report through the dashboard centered.
• Integration: Integration with more than 120 tools, including Jenkins, Github, Gitlab, Circleci, Slack, and Jira for automation of the end to the end.

Last mind!

In Lambdatest, we believe that in enabling the productivity of developers and supporting open-source testing tools. Partnering with Appium allows us to directly support one of the most widely used cellular automation frameworks while giving back to the contributor community that supports it.

We hope to work with the Appium team and its contributors to increase cellular test automation for developers and examiners around the world.
