I've had the worst experience in testing with Appium while working at Amazon. The test suite was extremely slow, unreliable, and tests are written in a language that's not native to the platform. The whole Appium testing interface is a hodgepodge UI that had a lot of broken UI interactions. Our team members who were proponents of Appium made arguments like: - Business people can write test cases - That never happened - You can write cross platform tests - Yes, but we end up with all of these one of cases if iOS and Android aren't written with the exact same naming and design conventions which forced multiple testing paths anyways. KIF is also not necessary anymore since Xcode 7+ support UI Test Case. UI Test Case(for interaction), Unit Test Case(For Unit/Performance Tests), and Snapshot Testing[1] is way better combination.
