Detox Insights

What is Detox?

Detox is a grey box end-to-end (E2E) testing and automation framework for mobile apps, primarily React Native, but also supporting native iOS and Android apps. It's designed to reliably simulate real user interactions, catching bugs and preventing regressions by automatically testing user flows within the application. Detox achieves its reliability by synchronizing with the application under test, meaning it waits for UI elements to be ready before attempting to interact with them, reducing flakiness commonly seen in other E2E testing solutions.
