Learn how to perform unit testing in React Native with Jest.
This article offers an overview of React Native testing, but there’s so much more to learn! I encourage you to explore other testing techniques and tools, like Snapshot Testing, Detox, and React Native Testing Library. Choose the ones that work best for your project, and keep learning!

Mobile app testing easier with Maestro (React Native)
I used Detox to test React Native apps. At that time, Detox was so "cool", saving both the time and effort of the dev team and the tester team. However, later on, I saw the complexity, as well as the "difficulty" with new team members, and that's when Maestro came to me as a savior. I know Maestro through an article on dev.to, but my team's "noob" is true 😂 (but my teammates don't believe it).

React vs React Native: How Different Are They, Really?
End-to-end testing is completely different on React Native, however. None of the Selenium-based E2E testing tools will work; neither will newer tools like Cypress or Playwright. You may have expected this - these are all DOM-based, and there’s no DOM in React Native. So instead developers will have to learn Detox or Appium.

Maestro is the simplest and most effective open-source mobile UI testing framework developed by Mobile.dev.
