Maestro Mobile E2E Testing

Overview

Maestro is a declarative YAML-based mobile E2E testing framework. It provides automatic waiting, built-in retry logic, and fast execution without boilerplate. It's more stable than Detox or Appium for React Native apps.

Key Features

• Declarative YAML — no imperative test code, just steps
• Automatic waiting — no manual sleep() or flaky waits
• Built-in retry — reduces test flakiness
• Fast execution — runs quickly without setup overhead
• Maestro Studio — interactive test builder (maestro studio)
• Sub-flows — reusable YAML sequences for DRY tests
• JavaScript scripting — GraalJS runtime for HTTP calls and data manipulation
• Maestro Cloud — real device testing in CI without local simulators
