Which automation tool is best for mobile testing?

Hi Noah,

When you’re deciding what automation tool to use, there are a lot of factors to consider. Whether the tool is free or paid is one element, but it’s not the only one. Some automation tools just don’t work well with mobile devices, and even if they do, they may not have certain features that other tools have. It’s important to know what features your automation tool has before you start building your automated tests.

  • How often does the vendor update its product?

  • Does it provide support for all types of mobile devices?

  • Is it easy to use?

  • Does it require a lot of programming knowledge?

Some of the tools you can consider using are Appium, Espresso, XCUITest, etc.

Though the earliest and most widely adopted tools that were used for mobile testing include Appium, which comes from the house of Selenium. However, the changing scenarios, test environments, test preferences, and types of products require an effective choice of tools.

Some of the most popular options that QA services providers tend to use include:

  • Calabash
  • Robotium
  • Ranorex Studio
  • Selendroid
