Testing your React Native App - The Cypress way
summary
Practical rundown: Cypress is used here as a JavaScript, non‑Selenium end-to-end runner that Thunkable uses to test React Native at the product level; the demo is a explained sample .spec.js not a full live build. Tests run in-browser via Expo for web to emulate mobile layouts, require Node 14+, record screenshots and videos on failure, and integrate with CI (GitHub Actions, CircleCI). Best practice is to target elements with data- attributes, component tests use a mount function, and Cypress supports Chrome/Firefox family browsers.
