How React Native, Appium and me made each other shine!
summary
A React Native telecom app for Tella2 uses Appium + WebdriverIO + Cucumber with accessibility labels added via a single testProperties method so XPath drops to ~5% of selectors. Animations are disabled in an automation build (duration/delay → 0) saving ~9s per scenario; deep links and a test-link screen cut 15s by jumping straight to features; mocking real services with ng API mock saves ~8s and, by sending a unique device header to the mock server, enables parallel runs without state clashes. Sixty-five scenarios gain roughly 30 minutes total.
