-# Mobile Testing Patterns
-
-> **Mobile testing is NOT web testing. Different constraints, different strategies.**
-> This file teaches WHEN to use each testing approach and WHY.
-> **Code examples are minimal - focus on decision-making.**

-
-## 🧠 MOBILE TESTING MINDSET
-
-```
-Mobile testing differs from web:
-├── Real devices matter (emulators hide bugs)
-├── Platform differences (iOS vs Android behavior)
-├── Network conditions vary wildly
-├── Battery/performance under test
-├── App lifecycle (background, killed, restored)
-├── Permissions and system dialogs
-└── Touch interactions vs clicks
-```

-## 🚫 AI MOBILE TESTING ANTI-PATTERNS
-
-| ❌ AI Default | Why It's Wrong | ✅ Mobile-Correct |
-|---------------|----------------|-------------------|
-| Jest-only testing | Misses native layer | Jest + E2E on device |
-| Enzyme patterns | Deprecated, web-focused | React Native Testing Library |
-| Browser-based E2E (Cypress) | Can't test native features | Detox / Maestro |
-| Mock everything | Misses integration bugs | Real device testing |
-| Ignore platform tests | iOS/Android differ | Platform-specific cases |
-| Skip performance tests | Mobile perf is critical | Profile on low-end device |
-| Test only happy path | Mobile has more edge cases | Offline, permissions, interrupts |
-| 100% unit test coverage | False security | Pyramid balance |
-| Copy web testing patterns | Different environment | Mobile-specific tools |

-### Why This Distribution?
-
-| Level | Why This % |
-|-------|------------|
-| **E2E 10%** | Slow, flaky, but catches integration bugs |
-| **Integration 20%** | Tests real user flows without full app |
-| **Component 30%** | Fast feedback on UI changes |
-| **Unit 40%** | Fastest, most stable, logic coverage |
-
-> 🔴 **If you have 90% unit tests and 0% E2E, you're testing the wrong things.**

-
-## 3. What to Test at Each Level
-
-### Unit Tests (Jest)
-
-```
-✅ TEST:
-├── Utility functions (formatDate, calculatePrice)
-├── State reducers (Redux, Zustand stores)
-├── API response transformers
-├── Validation logic
-└── Business rules
-
-❌ DON'T TEST:
-├── Component rendering (use component tests)
-├── Navigation (use integration tests)
-├── Native modules (mock them)
-└── Third-party libraries
-```
-
-### Component Tests (RNTL / flutter_test)
-
-```
-✅ TEST:
-├── Component renders correctly
-├── User interactions (tap, type, swipe)
-├── Loading/error/empty states
-├── Accessibility labels exist
-└── Props change behavior
-
-❌ DON'T TEST:
-├── Internal implementation details
-├── Snapshot everything (only key components)
-├── Styling specifics (brittle)
-└── Third-party component internals
-```
-
-### Integration Tests
-
-```
-✅ TEST:
-├── Form submission flows
-├── Navigation between screens
-├── State persistence across screens
-├── API integration (with mocked server)
-└── Context/provider interactions
-
-❌ DON'T TEST:
-├── Every possible path (use unit tests)
-├── Third-party services (mock them)
-└── Backend logic (backend tests)
-```
-
-### E2E Tests
-
-```
-✅ TEST:
-├── Critical user journeys (login, purchase, signup)
-├── Offline → online transitions
-├── Deep link handling
-├── Push notification navigation
-├── Permission flows
-└── Payment flows
-
-❌ DON'T TEST:
-├── Every edge case (too slow)
-├── Visual regression (use snapshot tests)
-├── Non-critical features
-└── Backend-only logic
-```
-
----
-
-## 4. Platform-Specific Testing
-
-### What Differs Between iOS and Android?
-
-| Area | iOS Behavior | Android Behavior | Test Both? |
-|------|--------------|------------------|------------|
-| **Back navigation** | Edge swipe | System back button | ✅ YES |
-| **Permissions** | Ask once, settings | Ask each time, rationale | ✅ YES |
-| **Keyboard** | Different appearance | Different behavior | ✅ YES |
-| **Date picker** | Wheel/modal | Material dialog | ⚠️ If custom UI |
-| **Push format** | APNs payload | FCM payload | ✅ YES |
-| **Deep links** | Universal Links | App Links | ✅ YES |
-| **Gestures** | Some unique | Material gestures | ⚠️ If custom |
-
-### Platform Testing Strategy
-
-```
-FOR EACH PLATFORM:
-├── Run unit tests (same on both)
-├── Run component tests (same on both)
-├── Run E2E on REAL DEVICE
-│   ├── iOS: iPhone (not just simulator)
-│   └── Android: Mid-range device (not flagship)
-└── Test platform-specific features separately
-```
-
----
-
-## 5. Offline & Network Testing
-
-### Offline Scenarios to Test
-
-| Scenario | What to Verify |
-|----------|----------------|
-| Start app offline | Shows cached data or offline message |
-| Go offline mid-action | Action queued, not lost |
-| Come back online | Queue synced, no duplicates |
-| Slow network (2G) | Loading states, timeouts work |
-| Flaky network | Retry logic, error recovery |
-
-### How to Test Network Conditions
-
-```
-APPROACH:
-├── Unit tests: Mock NetInfo, test logic
-├── Integration: Mock API responses, test UI
-├── E2E (Detox): Use device.setURLBlacklist()
-├── E2E (Maestro): Use network conditions
-└── Manual: Use Charles Proxy / Network Link Conditioner
-```
-
----
-
-## 6. Performance Testing
-
-### What to Measure
-
-| Metric | Target | How to Measure |
-|--------|--------|----------------|
-| **App startup** | < 2 seconds | Profiler, Flashlight |
-| **Screen transition** | < 300ms | React DevTools |
-| **List scroll** | 60 FPS | Profiler, feel |
-| **Memory** | Stable, no leaks | Instruments / Android Profiler |
-| **Bundle size** | Minimize | Metro bundler analysis |
-
-### When to Performance Test
-
-```
-PERFORMANCE TEST:
-├── Before release (required)
-├── After adding heavy features
-├── After upgrading dependencies
-├── When users report slowness
-└── On CI (optional, automated benchmarks)
-
-WHERE TO TEST:
-├── Real device (REQUIRED)
-├── Low-end device (Galaxy A series, old iPhone)
-├── NOT on emulator (lies about performance)
-└── With production-like data (not 3 items)
-```
-
----
-
-## 7. Accessibility Testing
-
-### What to Verify
-
-| Element | Check |
-|---------|-------|
-| Interactive elements | Have accessibilityLabel |
-| Images | Have alt text or decorative flag |
-| Forms | Labels linked to inputs |
-| Buttons | Role = button |
-| Touch targets | ≥ 44x44 (iOS) / 48x48 (Android) |
-| Color contrast | WCAG AA minimum |
-
-### How to Test
-
-```
-AUTOMATED:
-├── React Native: jest-axe
-├── Flutter: Accessibility checker in tests
-└── Lint rules for missing labels
-
-MANUAL:
-├── Enable VoiceOver (iOS) / TalkBack (Android)
-├── Navigate entire app with screen reader
-├── Test with increased text size
-└── Test with reduced motion
-```
-
----
-
-## 8. CI/CD Integration
-
-### What to Run Where
-
-| Stage | Tests | Devices |
-|-------|-------|---------|
-| **PR** | Unit + Component | None (fast) |
-| **Merge to main** | + Integration | Simulator/Emulator |
-| **Pre-release** | + E2E | Real devices (farm) |
-| **Nightly** | Full suite | Device farm |
-
-### Device Farm Options
-
-| Service | Pros | Cons |
-|---------|------|------|
-| **Firebase Test Lab** | Free tier, Google devices | Android focus |
-| **AWS Device Farm** | Wide selection | Expensive |
-| **BrowserStack** | Good UX | Expensive |
-| **Local devices** | Free, reliable | Limited variety |

-## 📝 MOBILE TESTING CHECKLIST
-
-### Before PR
-- [ ] Unit tests for new logic
-- [ ] Component tests for new UI
-- [ ] No console.logs in tests
-- [ ] Tests pass on CI
-
-### Before Release
-- [ ] E2E on real iOS device
-- [ ] E2E on real Android device
-- [ ] Tested on low-end device
-- [ ] Offline scenarios verified
-- [ ] Performance acceptable
-- [ ] Accessibility verified
-
-### What to Skip (Consciously)
-- [ ] 100% coverage (aim for meaningful coverage)
-- [ ] Every visual permutation (use snapshots sparingly)
-- [ ] Third-party library internals
-- [ ] Backend logic (separate tests)
-

-## 🎯 Testing Questions to Ask
-
-Before writing tests, answer:
-
-1. **What could break?** → Test that
-2. **What's critical for users?** → E2E test that
-3. **What's complex logic?** → Unit test that
-4. **What's platform-specific?** → Test on both platforms
-5. **What happens offline?** → Test that scenario
-
-> **Remember:** Good mobile testing is about testing the RIGHT things, not EVERYTHING. A flaky E2E test is worse than no test. A failing unit test that catches a bug is worth 100 passing trivial tests.
