Detox
Detox is an end-to-end testing framework for mobile applications, primarily designed for React Native apps but also supporting native iOS and Android. It enables developers to write and run automated tests that simulate real user interactions, such as tapping buttons and entering text, on real devices or simulators. The tool focuses on stability and reliability by handling asynchronous operations and timing issues common in mobile apps.
Developers should use Detox when building mobile applications, especially with React Native, to ensure high-quality user experiences through automated end-to-end testing. It is ideal for testing critical user flows, such as login sequences or checkout processes, to catch bugs before release. By automating repetitive manual testing, it saves time and reduces human error in mobile app development.
