• Deep knowledge of Appium desired capabilities, locator strategies, gestures, Waits, context switching. At least one of the following is mandatory:
• Java ()
• Python
• JavaScript (less common but acceptable) CI/CD Integration
• Hands on with Jenkins pipelines (Freestyle + Declarative)
• Ability to integrate test suites with: o GitHub Actions / GitLab CI (nice to have) o Maven/Gradle for build & dependency mgmt.
• Running tests in parallel on device clouds. API Automation (Complementary Skill) Because most mobile flows depend on back end APIs, tester must know:

REST API

validation using: o RestAssured (Java) o Python Requests

• Token-based authentication basics
