Appium: An Open Source Software Success Story
summary
Appium started in 2011 and actually implements the WebDriver / JSON Wire Protocol, maps that protocol to real device automation (iOS via UIAutomation / XCUITest and Android via UIAutomator), and intentionally avoids modifying the app under test. The project scales—hundreds of thousands of users and many corporate contributors—supports native and webview contexts, has server and client libraries in many languages, and demonstrably works as a cross‑platform mobile UI automation standard.
