Testing & React Native"Lessons from the Battlefield"

" summary

Wix tries to keep a TDD workflow on mobile and discovers concrete tradeoffs: Appium/WebDriver is flaky and forces sleeps and hacks, component tests with enzyme shallow vs full rendering break refactorability and push heavy mocking, and unit tests remain fast and straightforward. Architecture matters—keep components thin and move logic to plain JS files. Migrating to detox (EarlGrey-based, fast and stable) yields a small set of reliable end-to-end tests while Android support is still under active development.
