Calabash is an open-source automated UI testing framework for native and hybrid iOS and Android mobile applications, driven via Cucumber-style acceptance tests. Microsoft discontinued contributions after iOS 11/Android 8 support, and the project is seeking a new maintainer.

Use cases

  • automate ui tests for ios apps
  • write cucumber acceptance tests for android apps
  • end-to-end testing of hybrid mobile apps
  • inspect ios view hierarchy in tests
  • mobile app regression testing

When to choose

  • you maintain legacy iOS/Android test suites already written with Calabash
  • you need Cucumber-based mobile UI testing on old OS versions

When to avoid

  • starting a new mobile testing project - use Appium, Espresso, or XCUITest instead
  • you need support for recent iOS or Android versions
  • you cannot manage the risk of private APIs in test builds
