Summary

We learned a lot about how to find an element using different locators and techniques. Specifically, we learned how to remotely open the Firebug for mobile web apps to locate the web elements with different type of locators and also how UIAutomator Viewer can be used to find elements. We then moved on to searching for elements using Appium Inspector, ID, name, Xpath, cssSelector, className, AccessibilityId, AndroidUIAutomator, and, last but not least, IosUIAutomation.

We learned a lot about finding an element; now it's time to start automating mobile apps. In the next chapter we will work with the Appium driver.
