Scalability-wise, if you are going to run in a single machine, then you can scale it out. However, if you want to do a distributed execution for an iOS device, it can be pretty difficult.

The scalability of Appium is good. It support supports different operating systems, such as iOS and AOS.

We have 10 to 12 people using this solution.

All the test engineers are using it.

It is scalable, however, that will require some proper coding in the background to set up certain servers. We have actually run multiple testing parallel. Many of these supports are not available out of the box. They are something that we need to script and build, however, there are many libraries available on the list. For somebody who is starting from scratch, it would be fairly easy.

While, in my past organization, we had 50 to 60 people on the solution, in my current company, there are a bit fewer at about 30.

The solution is not designed for scalability but can be scaled via cloud services or a local device farm. 

We currently have two users but may add more in the future.

The solution is scalable. Once it's installed on the machines or in the cloud, everyone can run it and I don't think it matters how many staff members use it. We have nine end users in our organization.

I'm not facing any issues with scalability. It's not a problem to expand. 

We have a team of ten using the solution right now. We use it on a daily basis. We have daily test runs, using Appium, and have test cases to update, to add on a daily basis.

Appium is a scalable solution. A lot of devices are connected to Appium, and the solution runs every day for integration testing, with new test cases added daily. Appium keeps growing, and it's scalable.

Appium has decent scalability, and I've primarily used the Appium-Python-Client. What the Appium team could look into would be the possibility of running Appium in a cluster because currently, there's not a lot of in-depth documentation on how to do it.

For example, the way Selenium Hub works with Kubernetes, if Appium can have that functionality of working with Kubernetes, then that would ensure the greatest scalability for Appium.

The scalability is good.

We're planning on increasing usage in the future, or we're going to swap to something different. Right now, we are looking at tools that can generate Appium scripts for us, so tools like TestProject and Kobiton and so on. They can generate Appium scripts by looking at manual recordings of manual tests.

Principal Consultant at Plateer

I don't have any scalability experience.

We have two or three people using the solution. There’s a test consultant, engineer, and architect.

We don’t use it at total capacity. We use it about 30% of the time.

We have approximately 30 people developing, executing, and using Appian. They are made up of automation engineers and DevOps-related who are developing and executing, and we have our team for test executing.

Architect - Automation at DMI (Digital Management, Inc.)

In terms of scalability, this tool is doing well. We have automated more than five hundred test cases, which run for twenty to twenty-two hours in one go. In that way, it is doing well, although, sometimes there are cases where the Appium server hangs, and the script does not proceed forward. This has to be ironed out.

We do plan to increase the usage of this solution. Right now, our company has a lot of experience and a lot of people are learning this tool, as well as other open source solutions. We do not use any commercial products. In fact, we have a policy of using open source solutions, as they are in demand. There is nothing challenging the capability of this tool right now.

Appium is not that scalable, if you're using real devices locally. It can get scalable by using cloud services and emulators.
