Test like a user, not a machine
Maestro is a modern mobile testing tool that eliminates flakiness and complex setup known from Appium. We use it to ensure the highest quality of our React Native applications.
Maestro is ideal for projects where iteration speed and test reliability are crucial.
Despite its advantages, Maestro does not cover 100% of testing use cases.
Maestro works from the outside, seeing the app exactly as a user would.
Tests are written in simple YAML files that describe user steps step-by-step (e.g. "tap on button", "input text").
Maestro automatically waits for elements to appear on the screen. No need to write hardcoded sleeps.
UI tests with Maestro ensure that the app will work on end-devices after an update.
The app runs entirely on a real simulator, guaranteeing verification of the whole tech stack.
Maestro was designed with immediate developer feedback in mind.
Running a single test takes seconds, and changes can be tested almost in real-time using Maestro Studio.
Seamless execution of tests in the cloud (Maestro Cloud) on pull requests.
How do we use Maestro daily when delivering apps?
First, we cover the most important paths (e.g., registration, checkout, login).
Before merging any code, Maestro tests run automatically to verify we haven't broken existing features.
Maestro drastically lowers the entry barrier to test automation. Appium is heavy to configure and slow. Detox is faster than Appium but hard to maintain for React Native. Maestro works out-of-the-box and has no flaky tests thanks to its smart auto-wait mechanism.
