I’m curious—which environment do you prefer for automation testing: Apple 🍏 or Android 🤖?
I work with both (iPhone & Android phones) and have noticed something interesting:
In Appium Inspector, you can’t capture web elements for the keyboard on Android, but on iPhone 📲, it’s pretty easy. That said, this isn’t a major issue on Android since you can send any key to the keyboard. Additionally, I find that iPhone feels more stable for automation. 😉
I understand that automation scripts are necessary for both iPhone and Android since regression testing is required on both platforms. But my question is—which environment do you enjoy working with more when doing QA automation?
I have extensive experience in manual and automation QA, as well as managing various QA-related web resources. Currently, I serve as the VP of QA at a high-tech company.
I personally prefer working with Android 🤖 for automation. It feels more flexible, and I like the ability to customize tools and scripts.
