Likelihood to Recommend It is suitable for making portable applications, with almost the same code for several platforms. You can access native features of the device or use an open source plug-in from the repository to create a local database and access the internal storage of the device. It is wonderful for the construction of a native application, through the use of standard web code. It is not recommended for enterprise applications.
Read full review 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.

If you have a little mobile app development experience, all you need to know is HTML, CSS, Javascript and only a handful of cordova commands to get started with your hybrid app. Cordova provides a simple solution to access any and all of the device features through native plugins. You have a host of third-party and cordova plugins available to use device features like filesystem, camera, health kit, location services etc. You can also write your very own plugins and use them for your cordova based apps. Cordova is free to use! The only cost you will bear is the individual mobile platform developer program enrollment cost to deploy your apps to those platforms.

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 Alternatives Considered Apache Cordova is the mother of all other frameworks. The Ionic developed framework is well suited for development but most of their features are offered by paid services. As Apache Cordova is open source and has a license to modify it, it has no legal problems to work with it. Also, most well-known IDEs recognize the Apache Cordova snippets.
Read full review 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 Return on Investment It has a positive impact in general. Cordova is really a great solution for web developers who want to bring their incredible ideas to devices, but they just do not have a lot of time to put into iOS and Android learning curves. Our biggest benefit was that the management of images for multiple devices. Developing with Cordova has drastically reduced the cost of cross-platform deployment.
