Professional iOS and Android test automation using Appium — covering native, hybrid, and React Native apps on real devices and emulators with full gesture support, CI/CD integration, and cross-platform coverage.
Mobile test automation uses specialised tools to automatically execute test cases on iOS and Android applications — verifying functionality, performance, and user experience without manual testing on physical devices after every release.
The challenge of mobile testing: Unlike web applications, mobile apps must work correctly across hundreds of device models, screen sizes, operating system versions, and hardware configurations. Manual testing even a fraction of this matrix is impossible at modern release speeds. Mobile test automation solves this by running your test suite across a defined device matrix automatically — every time your team pushes a change.
At 360 Fahrenheit, we build mobile automation frameworks using Appium — the industry-standard open-source tool for iOS and Android automation. Appium supports native apps, hybrid apps, and React Native / Flutter apps from a single, shared test codebase. This means you invest in one automation solution that covers both platforms simultaneously, rather than maintaining separate iOS and Android test suites.
Our clients across Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and the UK deploy mobile apps to markets where iOS and Android both have significant share. We help them maintain consistent quality across both platforms without doubling their QA workload or budget. A single well-designed Appium framework tests both platforms — cutting your automation investment in half compared to platform-specific alternatives like XCUITest (iOS-only) or Espresso (Android-only).
A complete mobile automation solution — from framework architecture to real-device cloud execution — tailored to your app type, team, and release schedule.
A single shared test codebase that runs on both iOS and Android simultaneously using Appium's cross-platform capabilities. We support native apps (Swift/Objective-C, Kotlin/Java), hybrid apps (Ionic, Cordova), and cross-platform apps (React Native, Flutter). One automation investment covers both your platforms.
Full automation of mobile-specific interactions — swipe, pinch-to-zoom, scroll, long press, multi-touch, drag-and-drop, and device rotation. We handle the complexity of mobile gestures so your tests accurately simulate real user behaviour, not just simple button taps.
Screenshot comparison and visual regression testing across device sizes, resolutions, and OS versions. We use visual diffing tools to automatically detect unintended UI changes — ensuring your app's interface remains consistent after every release, across every target device.
True end-to-end test scenarios that combine mobile UI automation with backend API validation. We verify that what your app displays to users matches the data returned by your APIs — catching data binding bugs and synchronisation issues that UI-only tests miss entirely.
Test execution on real iOS and Android devices via BrowserStack or AWS Device Farm — not just emulators. Real devices catch camera, microphone, GPS, push notification, and hardware-specific bugs that emulators cannot simulate. Parallel execution across multiple real devices in the cloud maximises coverage without slowing your pipeline.
We define and execute tests across multiple iOS and Android OS versions simultaneously — ensuring your app works for users on older devices, not just the latest OS release. We identify OS-specific regressions early, before your users report them as app store reviews.
Appium is the industry-standard choice for cross-platform mobile test automation and the tool we recommend for the vast majority of mobile app projects.
Cross-platform with a single codebase: Appium's biggest advantage is that one test framework covers both iOS and Android. You write test logic once and run it on both platforms — a critical benefit for teams with limited QA budgets who cannot afford to maintain two separate automation codebases. Appium achieves this by sitting on top of the native testing frameworks (XCUITest for iOS, UIAutomator2 for Android) while abstracting the platform differences from your test code.
Language flexibility: Unlike XCUITest (Swift only) or Espresso (Kotlin/Java only), Appium supports multiple programming languages — Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Ruby, and C#. This means your existing developers or QA engineers can write mobile tests in the language they already know, rather than learning a new language just for mobile testing.
Open source and widely supported: Appium has a massive community, extensive documentation, and integrates with every major cloud testing platform — BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, AWS Device Farm, LambdaTest. It is actively maintained and supports the latest iOS and Android releases. There is no vendor lock-in and no licensing cost, making it the most sustainable long-term choice for mobile test automation.
We also work with XCUITest (for iOS-only projects where maximum performance is required) and Espresso (for Android-only projects with tight Google integration). We help you choose the right tool based on your specific app architecture and team constraints.
Industry-leading mobile testing tools proven across iOS and Android automation projects for apps of all types.
A structured 5-phase engagement that delivers a production-ready mobile automation suite — including real device cloud integration and CI/CD pipeline setup.
We analyse your mobile app's architecture — native, hybrid, or cross-platform — to choose the optimal automation approach and tooling. We review your current test coverage, identify the highest-risk user flows, and define the automation scope. We also review your target device matrix based on your user analytics.
We define a realistic device and OS version coverage matrix based on your app store analytics and target markets. We configure Appium with the correct desired capabilities for each device/OS combination and set up both emulator/simulator environments for fast local development and real device cloud for comprehensive CI/CD testing.
We build a scalable Page Object Model framework for mobile screens — separating screen element definitions from test logic. We configure app upload, session management, parallel execution settings, and integrate Allure reporting for clear test result visibility across all device/OS combinations.
Our mobile automation engineers write stable, maintainable test scripts covering your critical user journeys — registration, login, core feature flows, checkout, notifications, and edge cases. We implement smart wait strategies and retry logic to eliminate flaky tests caused by device performance variability.
Tests are configured to run in parallel on real devices in BrowserStack or AWS Device Farm, integrated into your CI/CD pipeline for automatic execution on every release build. Full video recording of every test run, detailed failure screenshots, and device logs make debugging fast and transparent.
Yes. Appium supports React Native apps natively since they render to native iOS and Android UI components. Flutter app support in Appium has significantly improved with the Flutter Driver integration — we can automate the vast majority of Flutter app interactions. For complex Flutter-specific scenarios, we may supplement Appium with Flutter's native testing tools depending on your requirements.
We recommend both. Emulators and simulators are fast, free, and sufficient for most functional testing during development. However, real devices are essential for catching hardware-specific bugs — camera behaviour, push notifications, GPS, touch sensitivity, and performance on lower-end devices. Our standard approach uses emulators for fast feedback in development and real device cloud (BrowserStack or AWS Device Farm) in your CI/CD pipeline for comprehensive release validation.
We recommend a minimum of 5–8 real device/OS combinations for most apps — covering your top 3-4 devices by user analytics, plus the latest iOS and Android OS versions, plus one older OS version to catch compatibility regressions. We help you define the right coverage matrix based on your actual user base data from App Store Connect or Google Play Console.
Yes. We handle authenticated flows using test credentials, mock payment gateways, and test environments. We never use real payment credentials in automation — all payment testing uses sandbox/test environments provided by payment processors like Stripe or Braintree. We also handle multi-factor authentication by working with your development team to implement test-friendly authentication bypass for automated flows.
Yes. 360 Fahrenheit is based in Lahore, Pakistan and serves mobile app clients across Saudi Arabia, UAE, UK, and the United States. We work entirely remotely, communicate in English, and align our delivery schedule to your release cadence regardless of time zone differences.
