TestUI combines 2 different paradigm test automation frameworks, i.e., mobile (Appium) and desktop (Selenide), into one neat framework. In our opinion, it’s a great framework that offers vast functionality with easy-to-learn syntax, not to mention full access to Selenide methods in case something tricky needs to be done.

espresso is Google's general recommendation, but there are other tools out there that exist like appium or kaspresso. Sure there are more, just goigle it to see what else there is.

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.

With iOS app testing, we test our iOS application on mobile devices (emulators or real devices, depending on the use case). Here, we pass it through various testing phases to ensure that the final version has minimum or no bugs. These can include manually inspecting the application like an end-user or running an automation framework like Appium or Testsigma.

To ensure the quality of our iOS Apps during development and testing, we decide to use Jenkins jobs to test it on WeTest cloud devices for every update of our app. After investigating various tools, we use gtest + gmock as the unit test framework and Appium as the UI test framework for the SDK.

I don't know about Rahul Shetty, but if you want to test the code in an app using Jest, for a broader type of test you can use something like Appium.

https://appium.io is beginning work on a new docs site and could use design help. we’re all just engineers, so…

Nope. Not even on 0.71 yet https://github.com/wix/Detox/issues/3884

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!

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).

I haven't used it yet, but it seems detox is a fine e2e testing tool for react native. something like cypress in the web. I think it's a little hard to configure, but in the end, it's really helpful.

The standard is React Native Testing Library for unit and integration tests, and Detox for E2E tests.

We also improved our React Native support by adding the possibility to generate a Detox config for Expo applications.

Copy & paste the content of the equivalent file from the detox example app for RN, into it. Don't forget to change the package name to your project's package name.

Detox is great for React Native: https://wix.github.io/Detox/

End-to-End coverage provided by Detox will make it easier to test each scenario on emulators or real devices.
