Appium (http://appium.io) is a world-class, award-winning open source test automation framework for use with native, hybrid and mobile web apps. It drives iOS and Android apps using the WebDriver protocol and uses APIs similar to Selenium. In doing so, it allows developers to run the same tests across multiple mobile devices.

This talk will explain how Appium works, the advantages it offers, and provide implementation examples for Android and iOS. I am a core contributor to Appium development and work for Sauce Labs.
