LambdaTest, a unified cloud engineering and agency AI platform, announced it has become a strategic sponsor of Appium, the world’s most widely used open source framework for mobile automation. This collaboration aims to substantially simplify and accelerate mobile test automation by integrating Appium’s capabilities into LambdaTest’s cloud-based distributed testing platform.
LambdaTest has an active open source program that provides community projects with access to the LambdaTest testing infrastructure, allowing maintainers to run comprehensive test suites without worrying about servers or configuration. Additionally, the organization has launched LambdaTest Grants for Open Source to support innovation in software testing frameworks and toolsets. As part of the grants, LambdaTest announced a $250,000 grant to open source projects and contributors developing solutions for the QA and testing community. Through this strategic partnership with Appium, LambdaTest is furthering its commitment to the open source community.
Furthermore, through this partnership, LambdaTest users will gain tighter integration and early access to improvements. Since Appium is the core of the LambdaTest platform, our contributions will allow the platform to incorporate updates and new capabilities faster than ever. Furthermore, this partnership is an example of how commercial platforms and open source projects can join forces to empower the entire technology community.

By combining Appium’s flexible automation capabilities with LambdaTest’s powerful real-device cloud, users can test a variety of native, hybrid, and web applications on real hardware, ensuring 100% accuracy. LambdaTest’s real-device testing environment layers actual device behavior, performance, and user interactions, providing detailed insights through app logs, crash reports, video recordings, and network data.
LambdaTest’s infrastructure was built specifically for large-scale Appium automation and facilitates the execution of high-performance parallel tests, enabling faster release cycles and greater test coverage. Teams can simulate various network conditions and offline modes to evaluate real-world performance; Geolocation testing also validates app performance in over 170 countries.
“Appium is a cornerstone of modern mobile test automation, and that’s why we’re proud to be their strategic partner,” said Asad Khan, CEO and co-founder of LambdaTest. “With our platform, testers can run faster, more secure, and globally distributed Appium tests, turning quality engineering into a competitive advantage.”
