    There are other way: we could just click the buttons in the mobilespec 
app's manual tests.
    I've found a couple of downsides of such approach:
    - We are tightly tied to the mobilespec app and its implementation: should 
there be changes to it's markup/navigation, or to the manual tests, we're bound 
to change the appium tests too
    - Appium tests look more complicated. For example, to debug a failing 
Appium test which clicks a button in the manual test I need to look at the 
Appium code, see which button is clicked, like here: 
`elementByXPath('//a[text()="Add new nameless contact"]')`, go to the manual 
tests, find the code that creates this particular button and finally find a 
click handler function for this particular button. All this opposed to just 
having the executed code close at hand, in the helper function.
    - Clicking buttons can be difficult :) For example, Appium is having a huge 
problem scrolling the page to find a button which is out of view on iOS 
simulator.
    
    Could you please describe your thoughts about the current implementation 
and why are you against it?
