Support for WebDriver BiDi Protocol in Appium Tests

Digital.ai Testing now supports the WebDriver BiDi (Bidirectional) protocol, enabling real-time, two-way communication between automation frameworks and connected mobile devices.

The traditional WebDriver protocol operates in a strictly command–response sequence, limiting real-time interaction. The WebDriver BiDi protocol overcomes this limitation by allowing mobile devices to send live, event-driven updates directly to the controlling automation software.

For details on enabling BiDi in your tests, see the Appium Documentation
