Automating The Known Unknown
summary
A Jio team builds an end‑to‑end test ecosystem that runs Appium suites against the mobile app and injects deterministic, Appium-driven flows where backend behaviour is replaced by a Specmatic stub that receives dynamic contextual expectations. Tests simulate specific failure modes — timeouts, 500s, delayed or malformed payloads — at exact user‑journey points, record how the UI state and retries behave, and gate changes in CI so flaky API-driven failures become reproducible and debuggable.
