React Native end-to-end testing with Maestro

on YouTube ↗16m

" summary

Yonder builds a React Native fintech app (rewards credit card) and moves end-to-end testing from Detox/Appium to Maestro, claiming much simpler, less flaky tests. Maestro (from bubble.dev, ~8 months old) provides Maestro Studio inspector that records interactions into YAML or code, runs locally or in cloud, and integrates with CI. Practical notes: GitHub Actions 8 GB runners flake; a self‑hosted machine with 128 GB RAM runs suites fast. Emphasis on recordable tests as executable specs.
