Why React Native for this
Some things should stay manual. Exploratory testing and genuine usability judgement do not automate, and pretending otherwise wastes effort on both sides.
React Native is strongest at shared code with your web application and one team for both platforms. For qa & test automation that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: heavy native functionality still needs platform-specific work. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.
The honest assessment
- What it is
- Cross-platform mobile from a single TypeScript codebase.
- Strongest at
- shared code with your web application and one team for both platforms
- Trade-off

We are not a reseller for React Native and hold no commission on this choice. Where a different option fits your workload better, the recommendation will say so. That is the entire value of asking us.
What is included
- Test strategy defining what is automated and what deliberately is not
- End-to-end coverage of the paths that carry revenue or risk
- API and integration tests, which catch more per rupee than UI tests
- Mobile testing on real devices, not only emulators
- CI integration so tests gate every change
- Flaky-test discipline, because a suite nobody trusts is worse than none
Questions
What coverage should we aim for?
Full coverage of critical paths beats a high overall percentage. A suite covering checkout, auth and payments well is worth more than 90% coverage spread evenly across trivial code.
Manual or automated?
Both. Automate regression, repetition and anything running every release. Keep humans for exploratory testing and usability judgement, which machines are poor at.
Our tests keep failing randomly. Can you fix it?
Yes, and it is common work. Flakiness usually traces to timing assumptions and shared state, and fixing it is what makes a team trust the suite again.
Alternatives for qa & test automation
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
