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 React is a JavaScript user interface construction library that works well for: Developing web apps with dynamic and complicated user interfaces. creating reusable UI elements that may be used in other applications. creating single-page applications with dynamic content updates that don't require a page reload. The Virtual DOM's effective updating mechanism allows it to handle large volumes of data updates. React, on the other hand, might be less suitable for: Websites that are simple, stagnant, and have no interaction. Other libraries or simple HTML, CSS, and JavaScript may be a better fit in such circumstances. Web sockets may be a better choice for applications that need real-time updates, such as chat or gaming apps. When creating mobile apps, React Native is a better option. Server side rendering only, as React is designed to run on the client side. 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 React is fantastic for building performant user interfaces. Our web app is snappy and great for our customers. React has the philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well which is the view layer of the application. This makes it incredibly intuitive and flexible for developers to use. React has lead the way in being able to write modular and structured code. It is a drastic improvement since the days of spaghetti jQuery code. React has an unmatched community. The amount of tools and libraries available is fantastic, and there plenty of solutions available online for common problems. 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 Debugging React is challenging. Bugs in react code generate stack traces internal to React and it is often totally unclear how it relates to the code you actually wrote. Relating your React elements to corresponding DOM elements is difficult. The intentional separation of virtual and actual DOM also makes it difficult to map the elements to the structures in the DOM. This is partially ameliorated by the use of the React dev tool, which provides a DOM-like view of the React elements, but the tool still does not provide a direct correspondence with the DOM that is often necessary to figure out why something isn't right. Because JSX is React-specific and not a language feature, a special compilation process is necessary to convert JSX code to normal JS. Coming from a C++ background, compiling things doesn't bother me, but many JS developers are used to a less structured development. Read full review Usability React is just a bit of a different animal. I was avoiding it for the longest time. I thought for sure I would land on Vue or something else with a more approachable and familiar appearance. But after taking an online course in React, I started realize what people were raving about (and complaining about) and decided to implement it at our office for one of our products.
Read full review Support Rating Since it's open-source and very popular, the community support for React and related tools and libraries is excellent. There are a lot of people using the same tools, and so issues tend to get fixed quickly and "recipes" are easy to come by. And since it's backed by Facebook, they have a dedicated engineering team working on the progression of React.
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 While this is a widely contested debate with various blog posts and benchmarks all over the place, its really a personal choice to determine what works for the team. Coming from a Angular 1.x background, I decided to try a new framework when Angular 2.x was announced and at that time React is gaining popularity and Vue hasn't taken off yet. Compared to Angular 1.x and Vue (hybrid of React and Angular) that split the logic from the html templates, I loved the way React breaks code into components using the jsx syntax. In my mind, this allows for cleaner components and easier maintenance
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 Our web applications now run much faster because the whole page doesn't reload We spend less time developing UI components because a lot of them are readily available on NPM We don't have to optimize apps for multiple browsers since React natively supports it.
