Test Android & iOS Like a Pro. Build Appium Frameworks That Scale.

Manual mobile testing, Appium 2.x automation, cloud device farms, biometric testing, and AI-driven coverage optimisation — all in one program.

Mobile applications fail in ways web apps never do — unexpected gestures, poor network conditions, device fragmentation, battery interruptions. This course trains you to catch all of it. You’ll start with hands-on Android and iOS manual testing, then build enterprise-grade Appium 2.x automation frameworks. The AI modules introduce intelligent test scenario generation, self-healing mobile locators, and device coverage optimisation — so you test smarter, not just more.

FAQs

This course is ideal for software testers, QA engineers, automation testers, and developers who want to build expertise in mobile application testing and automation.

Basic knowledge of software testing concepts is recommended, but the course covers Android and iOS fundamentals, so beginners in mobile testing can also learn.

You will learn Appium 2.x, UiAutomator2, XCUITest, mobile debugging tools, and cloud device farms used for real-world mobile automation testing.

Yes. The program covers mobile manual testing concepts along with Appium-based mobile automation.

Yes. The course includes Android and iOS fundamentals, device fragmentation testing, hybrid app testing, and cross-platform validation.

For the practical labs, Android emulators and iOS simulators are used in the early phases, so a physical device is not required to start. For cloud device testing phases, we use BrowserStack trial accounts which are freely available.
Mobile automation deals with device-specific challenges that don’t exist on the web — gesture handling, network condition switching, background/foreground interrupts, biometric flows, and app-native elements. Appium abstracts many of these but you still need a mobile-specific mindset. That’s exactly what Phase 1 (manual testing) builds before you touch automation.
