When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Advanced Appium: Scalable Mobile Test Automation is an intermediate-to-advanced level course designed for QA engineers, SDETs, and automation architects who want to build reliable, scalable mobile test systems using Appium. As your mobile product and team grow, isolated scripts and unstable CI runs won't cut it—you need modular frameworks, parallel execution, and stability strategies that hold up under pressure.

In this course, you’ll go beyond test creation and learn to engineer Appium frameworks that support fast feedback, cross-platform execution, and team-wide trust. Through short videos, real-world debugging stories, hands-on labs, and guided coaching, you’ll design a modular framework, integrate it into CI/CD pipelines, and resolve flaky test patterns using logs, wait strategies, and monitoring tools. Whether you're leading automation at scale or modernizing a legacy suite, this course will help you shift from writing tests to engineering resilient, flexible systems that deliver results.

Module details

In this introductory lesson, learners will examine how to design mobile test automation frameworks that scale across platforms and teams. They’ll explore advanced Appium capabilities, architectural patterns like page object modeling, and best practices for creating reusable, modular test code. Through real-world examples and hands-on exercises, learners will understand how to build a sustainable foundation that supports long-term test coverage and team collaboration.
