The last ten years in app development and testing have seen big shifts, especially with the entry of AI and ML. We started with straight-line testing methods but quickly adapted to flexible, agile techniques. As users wanted more, developers and testers had to change their game. They focused on making everything smoother, centered on the user, and eliminating unnecessary steps.
Today, a lot of developers use tools that let them build apps for multiple platforms at once. At the same time, testing isn’t just about “does this work?” anymore. It’s grown to answer questions about how fast, secure, or user-friendly an app is. Agile and DevOps have become standard names in the scene, bringing smart coding advice and data-driven insights.
Within this mix, deciding between using real devices or emulators for Appium testing is a big deal. Both have their strong points and cater to today’s app development demands.
