官网过一遍，有个大概：概述、历史、getting started、API、appium desktop
先聊八卦，小伙有前途：
理念
Introduction to Appium 概述appium主张以及如何实现——
- You shouldn’t have to recompile your app or modify it in any way in order to automate it.
- You shouldn’t be locked into a specific language or framework to write and run your tests.
- A mobile automation framework shouldn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to automation APIs.
- A mobile automation framework should be open source, in spirit and practice as well as in name!
- iOS 9.3 and above: Apple’s XCUITest
- iOS 9.3 and lower: Apple’s UIAutomation
- Android 4.2+: Google’s UiAutomator/UiAutomator2
- Android 2.3+: Google’s Instrumentation. (Instrumentation support is provided by bundling a separate project, Selendroid)
- Windows: Microsoft’s WinAppDriver
Driver Doc：
- The XCUITest Driver (for iOS and tvOS apps)
- The UiAutomator2 Driver (for Android apps)
- The Windows Driver (for Windows Desktop apps)
- The Mac Driver (for Mac Desktop apps)
- (BETA) The Espresso Driver (for Android apps)
核心概念：
- Client/Server Architecture： C/S架构
- Session：建立会话后使用sessionID进行后续的命令传递
- Desired Capabilities：key-value的map结构进行环境定义
- Appium Server：NodeJS实现的server端
- Appium Clients：各个语言的client端
协议
- selenium webdriver api selinium端的应用
- webdriver known as the JSON Wire Protocol， 上面的成为事实标准，推动成为W3C协议草案
- Mobile JSON Wire Protocol Specification 移动端的JSON Wire Protocol
