In this episode of the React Native Show dives into the recent introduction of End-to-End (E2E) testing in RNTester. Mateusz Ulańczyk and Szymon Rybczak, the people directly involved in making this solution a reality, will give you a candid look at how E2E tests in RNTester can help reduce regressions, speed up releases, and ultimately lead to a more robust codebase.
