Likelihood to Recommend It is very easy to verify Images with drawable resources Color Verification we can do this by referring to the same hex code as the developer team used so that it is reused. Opening a desired activity without performing End-to-end flow which eventually saves time. If the application is built on Android we can go testing activity with Espresso as it provides all the necessary APIs Espresso is not appropriate to iOS app automation, from a business point of view we need to hire new resources for iOS testing. Read full review Mendix excels in scenarios involving Business Process Automation, making it a strong choice for applications requiring workflow automation, including processes like request approvals, document management, and other business workflows.Conversely, Mendix may be less suitable for projects that demand highly customized solutions with extensive custom coding. Its primary focus on low-code development may not align well with the requirements of projects that heavily rely on intricate and specialized coding.
Read full review Pros Automatic Waiting logic before failing any test Black box and Grey box testing Easy to Understand and Very Flexible Supported Java And Kotlin Fewer Efforts compare to other Mobile Automation Frameworks Execution is very Fast Read full review We're able to really easily develop different views that are very specific to a customer's needs or customer's different types of user needs. So for example, the production managers can have a certain view that's relevant to them and then certain line managers can have views that are specific to them that allow them to run different scenarios which they define. So it allows us to easily build customized apps for each different type of user. Read full review Cons As Espresso works on the ideal thread if the threads are not handled properly by the developing team it can lead to challenges in the execution of your tests. Depends more on the developer's code we cannot develop tests as individual frameworks, we share the repository with developers. We need to be cautious while making changes in the tests, as we share same repository Read full review Earlier versions lacked in UI/Ux. This is still improving. Since everyone and anyone can create custom add ons (widgets), Mendix could improve their quality checks (but not as rigid as eg Apple). Upgradeability used to be somewhat of an issue. Version 7 looks to be handling this better than previous versions. Read full review Usability A 10 would say I have nothing to wish for. A 9 means I haven't seen anything better.This tool really helps you in the whole creation and maintenace cycle, so from requirements to building/modeling to testing to deploying to capturing feedback.

Read full review Alternatives Considered As our app is complete on Android Espresso is the best choice over
Appium Fewer efforts in Espresso over
Appium , as Espresso provides some built-in library to perform the operation. Easy to use, Espresso is very easy to understand and we can perform operations with very little code. Developers can contribute, as they have good command over Java and Kotin languages and also use Espresso for unit testing.
Read full review Mendix would be my preferred system all the way. The system is designed for these kinds of works. I've worked with WP and DNN but they should be used just for websites. To create an app for a business value, I would suggest Mendix. Also, the offline capabilities of Mendix have greatly improved since the deployment of Mendix 7.13.
Read full review Return on Investment As it is an Open Source tool it cost-effective East to use, so that you can train many new Joiners to start delivering the tasks Maintainance is very low, as we depend on the developer's layout files we can reuse their elements We can cover most of the scenarios which helps in the coverage of the tests Read full review It helps to speed up application development because of its low code by the fact that it's low code. It allows professional developers to focus more on specialized application development rather than the more routine application development that business IT and super users can do for themselves with some coaching from the IT department. So it's just allowing the more specialist professional developers.net, for example, Java in our organization to focus on more complex engineering application developments. Read full review ScreenShots
