In this Tutorial, you'll learn about advanced concepts in Appium. We will learn how to write a single script for Android, iOS, and mobile web apps. Once our tests are established, we will work on the framework design and report. We will also have a detailed look at how can we automate various mobile gestures using Actions API and mobile endpoints in Appium. The workshop will be based on the latest Appium's JavaClient. We will build plugin and driver using Appium
