In today’s automation world, there are numerous frameworks that work as a catalyst to speed up the automation process. Quantum is one such framework with Perfecto. It’s the recommended framework that has built-in support for all Perfecto libraries and methods. Documentation for Quantum is available here: Quantum.
If you use Perfecto as your automation tool, you may use Perfecto proprietary features to overcome common issues you face with open source tools such as Selenium or Appium. It would be easier for you to add these features as utilities in a homegrown framework that can be reused whenever necessary. A jar file that contains all Perfecto features as methods is available in the maven repository at https://repo1.perfectomobile.com/public/repositories/maven/com/perfectomobile/utilities/perfecto-utilities/1.0/perfecto-utilities-1.0.jar.
See the following step-by-step guide for more info.
