Glitter with Flutter
summary
Compares two practical routes: Appium Flutter Driver works like regular Appium but often forces very long XPATHs and struggles with Flutter webviews, while the integration_test package runs inside the app repo using Dart, calls widgets directly, and so far avoids locator problems across mobile/web/desktop. Covers unit/widget/integration triage, mentions golden_toolkit for snapshot tests but warns golden images are fragile across host OSes and require regenerating baselines.
