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.

Feel free to look at the lerna/npm config: https://github.com/appium/appium

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.

Appium exists from that Selenium family. That will do the job. https://appium.io/

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.

Hah I did the opposite.

I set up an OpenSmartphoneTestFarm (openSTF) instance at the office so people working from home could fully control smartphones inside the office to debug wifi issues. Because some countries had lockdowns at different times, so it could be that production users could work in the office but some of our support people couldn't.

It worked pretty well actually. https://openstf.io/

But they dropped support on it and moved to another product (device farmer) which never seems to have materialised at all. I don't know what happened to it but we just kept running openstf until the end of the pandemic. It worked fine anyway.

Did you know this exists? https://openstf.io/

I will submit the article version with more details when I finish it.
