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
