Overview

Implement comprehensive testing strategies for mobile applications including unit tests, UI tests, integration tests, and performance testing.

When to Use

• Creating reliable mobile applications with test coverage
• Automating UI testing across iOS and Android
• Performance testing and optimization
• Integration testing with backend services
• Regression testing before releases

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

// Unit test with Jest
import { calculate } from "../utils/math";

Best Practices

✅ DO

• Write tests for business logic first
• Use dependency injection for testability
• Mock external API calls
• Test both success and failure paths
• Automate UI testing for critical flows
• Run tests on real devices
• Measure performance on target devices
• Keep tests isolated and independent
• Use meaningful test names
• Maintain >80% code coverage

❌ DON'T

• Skip testing UI-critical flows
• Use hardcoded test data
• Ignore performance regressions
• Test implementation details
• Make tests flaky or unreliable
• Skip testing on actual devices
• Ignore accessibility testing
• Create interdependent tests
• Test without mocking APIs
• Deploy untested code
