● prepare automation tests for mobile apps

● find easy to use framework for tests

● develop one tests for both iOS and Android app version

Mobile is taking over the world

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 API’s.

A mobile automation framework

should be an open source,

in spirit and practice as well as in name!
