Is Appium testing on TestMu AI free, and how is it priced?

TestMu AI offers a free plan to get started with Appium testing on real devices. Paid plans scale with the number of parallel sessions and concurrent devices your team needs; see current tiers on the pricing page.

Can I run Appium tests in parallel across devices?

Yes. TestMu AI runs your Appium tests in parallel across 50,000+ real Android and iOS devices, so a full suite finishes in a fraction of the time. Concurrent sessions are set by your plan and scale as your Appium testing matrix grows. TestMu AI is also an official Appium strategic partner.

Does TestMu AI offer private or dedicated Appium devices?

Yes. Alongside the public real device cloud, TestMu AI offers a private device cloud with dedicated iOS and Android devices reserved 24/7 for your team, plus on-premise options for testing behind your firewall.

What is Appium mobile testing?

Appium mobile testing is a flexible framework that enables testers to automate testing for numerous platforms like iOS, Android, and Windows using a single API. New to the framework? Start with the Appium tutorial. Appium makes it possible to reuse code across platforms, which saves time and effort while guaranteeing uniform test scripts for various mobile devices. Most teams run these suites on a native app automation cloud so every test executes on real Android and iOS devices without maintaining a local device lab.

Can Appium be used for API testing?

Appium is primarily used for automating mobile application testing on real devices or simulators. For API testing, tools like Postman or RestAssured are commonly used.

What are the best practices for stable Appium tests?

Use explicit waits instead of hardcoded delays, clean up app state before each test, run Appium testing on real devices rather than only emulators, and use proper selectors (accessibility IDs > XPath).

Can I test both Android and iOS apps with one Appium script?

Yes, Appium supports both platforms. While the core logic can be shared, you'll often need platform-specific capabilities and locators due to differences in app UI and behavior.

Real Devices

Appium Testing on Real Android and iOS Devices

Move your Appium testing onto 50,000+ real Android and iOS devices in the cloud, with no local device lab to set up or maintain.

Run on a Real Device

Real hardware reproduces gestures, sensors, GPS, and network conditions that emulators and simulators cannot replicate
Test your Appium scripts across OS versions, screen sizes, and device manufacturers in one place
Catch device-specific failures that appear on real hardware and never surface on emulators or simulators

Appium Testing on Real Android and iOS Devices

Frameworks & Languages

Works With Your Existing Appium Stack

Point your existing Appium automation at the cloud by changing the hub URL and desired capabilities, then run the exact same scripts online without rewrites.

Start Free Appium Testing

Write Appium tests in Java, Python, JavaScript, Ruby, C#, or PHP using your preferred stack
Integrate with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, and other CI tools in your existing pipeline
Keep your current Appium test logic and locators unchanged while moving execution onto the cloud

Parallel Testing

Parallel Appium Test Execution

Run your Appium mobile automation across many real devices at the same time to cut a multi-hour test suite down to minutes and release faster.

Start Free Appium Testing

Run hundreds of Appium tests concurrently across devices instead of executing them one after another
Keep your CI pipelines moving by removing the wait for individual devices to become available
Scale the number of parallel devices up or down for each individual Appium test run

KANE CLI

Author Appium Tests With AI From Your Terminal

Describe a mobile test in natural language and let AI author the Appium flow from your terminal, then run it across the real device cloud.

Try Kane CLI

Turn natural-language steps into Appium flows without writing locators or desired capabilities
Generate complete mobile test flows from a PRD or Jira ticket in minutes
Run the authored Appium tests on real Android and iOS devices online

Built-In Appium Testing Capabilities

Natural Gestures

Test natural gestures such as tapping, scrolling, zooming, and swiping.

App Control

Install new builds, uninstall previous versions, or kill and relaunch your app, all during an ongoing Appium mobile testing session.

App Uploads

Upload .aab, .apk, or .ipa files, or install directly from the Play Store, App Store, or Firebase.

Session Replays

Replay complete Appium test sessions with video to trace every interaction, identify failures, and debug faster.

Test History

View detailed logs, status, and execution history for every Appium test. Track trends, spot flaky tests, and compare past runs anytime.

Smart Queuing

Automatically prioritize and queue Appium tests during peak usage, ensuring efficient device utilization without blocking your CI pipeline.

Start Free Testing

Some Love from our Customers

Mobile Automated tests work great with Lambda. I love it. It works great. When I have a problem I can chat with a Lambda Engineer at all times. Their customer service is really fast and helpful...

Fixed on Android from what I can tell 😁 For those curious: `keydown` works on iOS in soft keyboards, not on Chrome Android by design[1]. Thanks – amazing service which gave me an Android on demand for free.

One of the hardest and most annoying stuff that gets me each time is flushing the cache on iOS 🤦‍♂️, people has done a great job of integrating developer console on all iPhone models! #javascript #webdev
