E2E tests

Currently, we support e2e-tests only for iOS platform.

• Create an Mailslurp account and add your API-key as a MAIL_SLURP_API_KEY variable to the .env.development file
• execute yarn tests:e2e from [root] folder to run tests

Writing tests

Tests are located in /e2e/specs folder and have *.e2e.js file extension. Each file represents tests for a one single feature.

As a test runner we use jest it provided describe and it blocks for organizing tests. We use a mix of User Stories and Gherkin syntaxis to make our tests readable and supportable. Use user story in a describe section for describe section for describe testing functionality from a user perspective and use Given, Then, When syntaxis for describing each single test step.
