Overview
The library contains methods which allow you to interact with Appian components in a browser. It can be used in a Java application or integrated directly into any Selenium or Java-based testing tool.
Appian Selenium API contains the methods that are at the core of both Cucumber for Appian and FitNesse for Appian. If you are familiar with either Appian’s FitNesse or Cucumber tools then you are already familiar with the methods provided by the Appian Selenium API. For example, the table below shows the corresponding FitNesse and Cucumber methods for the same underlying Appian Selenium API method.
Appian Selenium API
loginWithUsernameAndPassword(jString userName, String password)
FitNesse for Appian
| login with username | USERNAME | and password | PASSWORD |
Cucumber for Appian
Given I login with username "USERNAME" and password "PASSWORD"
Note: Java 11 required for plugin version 23.4

Note on Appian Versions:

Hi, I am trying to instantiate the driver object and use fixture.setWebDriver(driver) to use it further. However, what I noticed is that test becomes very very slow. I am not why does that happens. Any Idea?
Its totally different when is use fixture.setupWithBrowser(browser) method to let this library create its own driver.
The process of initiating driver is same in both the case.
I want to use this because I want to have it running in non-gui mode, at present this capability is not there in appian selenium API.
