React Native is a mobile development framework that is consistently growing in popularity.

Types of tests

There are multiple types of tests for software applications that ensure a sophisticated approach and confidence in delivering apps to the end-users. But what are the differences between them? Let’s find out!

The primary types of tests are:

• Unit tests: Unit testing ensures that each part of the code delivers the desired output. Developers only look at the interface and the specifications of the components. Thorough standalone testing of each component is performed before moving on to the next unit.

• Component tests: Component testing is performed to verify the functionality and/or usability of a component, but it is not restricted to only these. Components can be anything that can take input(s) and deliver some output – for example, a code module, a web page, a screen and even a system inside a larger system.

• Integration tests: Integration testing is performed to test individual components to check how they function together. It involves testing the integration between modules that are working fine individually. Integration testing provides clarity about the overall functionality of the application.
