Playwright is the top testing framework globally, but it typically only supports web testing. Other cross-platform frameworks like Appium are complete nightmares to work with.
Playwright can test mobile websites on small screen sizes, but it has no support for native mobile apps on Android & iOS. This means most companies require an entirely different approach for testing their mobile apps.
of usability issues identified during testing involve native interactions such as touch gestures and screen responsiveness.
KobitonPrecious developer time is spent on engineering projects related solely to your testing infrastructure, rather than fixing bugs or releasing new features. Tests can take hours to complete, grinding developer momentum to a halt.
