Appium vs Jasmine: What are the differences?

1. Automation Tools: Appium is a mobile automation testing tool that supports both Android and iOS platforms, while Jasmine is a behavior-driven development (BDD) framework for testing JavaScript code. 2. Language Support: Appium supports various programming languages like Java, Python, Ruby, etc., whereas Jasmine is primarily used with JavaScript. 3. Testing Level: Appium is more focused on end-to-end testing of mobile applications, whereas Jasmine is used for unit testing of JavaScript code. 4. Integration Capabilities: Appium can integrate with various popular testing frameworks like Selenium, Robot Framework, etc., while Jasmine is standalone for testing JavaScript code. 5. Test Case Structure: Appium allows writing test cases in a linear manner, while Jasmine promotes the use of behavior-driven development style with descriptive and readable test cases. 6. Target Audience: Appium is more suitable for mobile app developers and testers, whereas Jasmine is targeted at JavaScript developers for writing efficient and reliable unit tests.

In summary, the key differences between Appium and Jasmine lie in their target platforms, language support, testing levels, integration capabilities, test case structures, and target audiences.

Decisions about Appium and Jasmine

We use Mocha for our FDA verification testing. It's integrated into Meteor, our upstream web application framework. We like how battle tested it is, its' syntax, its' options of reporters, and countless other features. Most everybody can agree on mocha, and that gets us half-way through our FDA verification and validation (V&V) testing strategy.

    What are some alternatives to Appium and Jasmine?
    Selendroid
    Selendroid is a test automation framework which drives off the UI of Android native and hybrid applications (apps) and the mobile web. Tests are written using the Selenium 2 client API
    Detox
    High velocity native mobile development requires us to adopt continuous integration workflows, which means our reliance on manual QA has to drop significantly. It tests your mobile app while it's running in a real device/simulator, interacting with it just like a real user.
    BrowserStack
    BrowserStack is the leading test platform built for developers & QAs to expand test coverage, scale & optimize testing with cross-browser, real device cloud, accessibility, visual testing, test management, and test observability.
    Selenium
    Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.
    EarlGrey
    EarlGrey is a native iOS UI automation test framework that enables you to write clear, concise tests. With the EarlGrey framework, you have access to enhanced synchronization features. EarlGrey automatically synchronizes with the UI, network requests, and various queues; but still allows you to manually implement customized timings, if needed.
