Testing your Mobile App
Testing is an integral part of mobile app development to ensure the reliability, functionality, and user experience of your Rocket.Chat Mobile app. This guide will walk you through various testing approaches for Rocket.Chat Mobile App. The Rocket.Chat Mobile App has unit tests and e2e tests.
How to inspect the app
Reactotron is used to inspect logs, redux state, redux-sagas, HTTP requests, etc.
Unit tests
Unit tests focus on isolating and testing individual components or functions within your app. They help identify and fix bugs early in the development process and ensure that each part of your app works as intended. For unit tests, we use Jest and Storybook.
Storybook
Storybook is a tool for developing UI Components with some plugins to make Jest generate snapshots. Navigate to the index.js file on your project's root directory, and keep only the last Storybook import while commenting the remaining part of the code. Then, refresh your project, and you will observe the generation of tests like this:
Jest
