🧪 I don’t trust a mobile feature until I’ve tested the failure case.
Happy-path testing is easy.
What matters is what happens when:
• the API returns 500 • the user goes offline mid-action • a payment succeeds but the response is delayed • a push token expires • the app is reopened after 3 days • a deep link points to missing content • the same button gets tapped twice • background sync fails silently
Most production bugs don’t happen when everything works.
They happen when one dependency behaves differently than expected.
That’s why for React Native apps, I like to test recovery behavior, not just feature behavior.
A good mobile app doesn’t only work correctly.
It fails clearly, safely, and recoverably. ⚙️
