Introduction to Appium
Appium is an open-source tool for automating native, mobile web, and hybrid applications on iOS and Android platforms.
Native apps are those written using the iOS, Android, or Windows SDKs. Mobile web apps are web apps accessed using a mobile browser (Appium supports Safari on iOS and Chrome or the built-in ‘Browser’ app on Android). Hybrid apps have a wrapper around a “webview” – a native control that enables interaction with web content. Projects like Phonegap, make it easy to build apps using web technologies that are then bundled into a native wrapper, creating a hybrid app.
Importantly, Appium is “cross-platform”: it allows you to write tests against multiple platforms (iOS, Android, Windows), using the same API.

APPIUM PHILOSOPHY
Appium was designed to meet mobile automation needs according to a philosophy outlined by the following four tenets:
  1. You shouldn’t have to recompile your app or modify it in any way in order to automate it.
  2. You shouldn’t be locked into a specific language or framework to write and run your tests.
  3. A mobile automation framework shouldn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to automation APIs.
  4. A mobile automation framework should be open source, in spirit and practice as well as in name!
APPIUM DESIGN
So how does the structure of the Appium project live out this philosophy? We meet requirement #1 by using vendor-provided automation frameworks under the hood. That way, we don’t need to compile in any Appium-specific or third-party code or frameworks to your app. This means you’re testing the same app you’re shipping. The vendor-provided frameworks we use are:
  1. iOS: 9.3+ Apple’s XCTest
  2. Android 4.2+: Google’s UiAutomator
  3. Android 2.3+: Google’s Instrumentation. (Instrumentation support is provided by bundling a separate project, Selendroid)
  4. Windows: Microsoft’s WinAppDriver
SUPPORTED PLATFORMS

In Big Data technology, an enormous volume of data is used. Regarding data, there are two main  challenges.The  first one is how to collect large volume of data and the second challenge is to analyze the collected data. To overcome those challenges, you must need a messaging system. Kafka  is designed for distributed high throughput systems. Kafka tends to work very well as a replacement for a more traditional message broker. In comparison to other messaging systems, Kafka has better throughput, built-in partitioning, replication and inherent fault-tolerance, which makes it a good fit for large-scale message processing applications WHAT IS A MESSAGING SYSTEM HERE ? A Messaging System is responsible for transferring data from one application to another, so the applications can focus on data, but not worry about how to share it. Distributed messaging is based on the concept of reliable message queuing. Messages are queued asynchronously between client applications...
