Espresso vs. OneSignal vs. Pusher

• 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.

I think One Signal is very well suited for mobile app owners who want to be in touch with their user base more easily by sending push notifications and in-app messages. I'm not sure how well that works for SMS messaging as I haven't yet tried it. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it if your in-apps are very rare.

As I told you earlier, if you just want to send regular push notifications to the app users, then Pusher shall not be your first choice. However, if you wish to make the app a little more interactive by making live changes in the app using Pusher and sending your user's real-time notifications, then you should definitely try it.

• 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

• Send instant notifications without any delay.
• Provide all the necessary features for testing.
• Highly cost effective.
• Great system to handle huge volume.
• Great customer support.

• Pusher allows live changes in the UI using push requests. We can also integrate it with the PHP source code.
• They offer 99.99% uptime, so we can trust on their services.
• Pusher works well along with the Flutter codebase, so we do not have to modify it much to work on cross-platforms.

• 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

• Is still in development: we know OneSignal is still in development and sometimes it takes longer to create or fulfill certain features.
• Payment: payment menu is not at the glance, [and] is just difficult sometimes to find -it is a minor issue.
• Send to certain custom segments through specific OneSignal IDs; you can do it though API doing a GET call with tools like Postman. If this can be done from OneSignal it would be great.

• Not a good support system.
• Poor documentation.
• Date transmission encryption issues.

I give an 8 in this question mainly for 2 reasons: the products even if they look like complete and are highly customizable and usable, they are still missing some logical features. For example, send messages to a list of users - now days you can do it with postman and get calls. A second example is App messaging that is still in development and has many opportunities.

Their customer support has been top-notch. They are able to assist you in getting through any problems that you may have and respond in a very timely manner. I've dealt with them on 4-5 instances over the years and my issues were always resolved within a matter of a few business days.

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.

In my opinion, OneSignal documentation / API is more friendly [than] Firebase. Maybe because Firebase is already "too big," but OneSignal is focused on one solution that giving our notification through to our customer. In that case, OneSignal is chosen by our company. Several years after that, Firebase announced it supported [the] iOs platform too but our company already using OneSignal to our notification provider.

• 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

• OneSignal has allowed us to grow number of subscribers in a short time.
• We are able to send our news and offers easily and instantly.
• We have become able to drive more website traffic and increase in sales.

• We had over ten thousand customer orders go through over the course of a year with no problems with this API
• There was very minimal support for this API which allowed us to focus on other priorities.
