What is the difference between testing a "native" app, a "hybrid" app, and "mobile web" using Appium?
What is a general reason a team might choose Appium specifically (rather than a platform-exclusive tool like Espresso for Android or XCUITest for iOS directly) for mobile app test automation?
What is the general relationship between Appium and a specific test framework/language binding (like using Appium from Java with TestNG, or from JavaScript with WebdriverIO)?
What is Appium Desktop?
What does it mean to run Appium tests against a real physical device versus an emulator/simulator, and what tradeoff does this choice involve?
What is a "capabilities" mismatch error, and why might a test fail to even start a session due to one?
Why might accessibility IDs (matching an element by its accessibility label/identifier) be considered a particularly robust locator strategy for Appium tests?
What does it mean that Appium (beyond just mobile) has expanded to support desktop application automation (e.g. via Appium's Mac2 or Windows drivers)?
What is an "automationName" capability, and why might it differ depending on the platform being tested?
What are "Desired Capabilities" (or the newer "Appium capabilities") in an Appium test session?
What is a common challenge/consideration when choosing element locator strategies (like accessibility ID, XPath, or resource ID) for Appium test automation?
What is a general strategy for reducing flakiness in Appium-based UI tests caused by timing issues (e.g. an element not yet loaded when the test tries to interact with it)?
