Visit Website →

Overview

Detox is a gray box testing framework for mobile apps, developed by Wix. It is designed to address the flakiness and instability often found in mobile end-to-end tests. Detox monitors the app's internal state and synchronizes with it, ensuring that test actions are performed only when the app is idle. This results in more reliable and deterministic tests. Detox is specifically optimized for React Native applications.

✨ Key Features

  • Gray box testing approach
  • Automatic synchronization
  • Cross-platform (iOS and Android)
  • Optimized for React Native
  • Runs on real devices and simulators
  • Test runner agnostic (Jest, Mocha, etc.)

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Gray box approach for increased test stability
  • Automatic synchronization to eliminate flakiness
  • Optimized for the React Native ecosystem

Unique Value: Provides a reliable and developer-friendly solution for end-to-end testing of React Native apps, addressing the common problem of flaky tests.
