Appium has the best features that can be used for mobile automation and since it is an open source tool it makes even more convenient and cost effective to use. Best part is, it has no dependency on the OS of the mobile, it can be any, android or iOS.

Appium is an open source tool due to which it allows user to save lot for the automation compared to manual. It has very good web-driver compatibility, selenium web driver is the best integration as a web driver to connect the appium with. it also supports different framework for testing and almost works on mobile platforms. Really helps the developers as well as automation testers to configure and even can learn the features at the same time. Connectivity between the servers and Xcode's tool during execution is really appreciative.
