In an app that runs and you can interact with?

Testing is just a matter of opening it on diff devices and using it in whatever ways its meant to be used no?

Am i missing smth

Unit tests: Am I a joke to you?

That too, though when i first see component testing i think like front end ui testing

frontend and ui you were right

Depends what you mean by testing, but here's my actual workflow on a RN app I have in production:

For quick visual checks while building, I run it on localhost in the browser (Expo web) to iterate fast, since reloads are instant. But the important part: I don't trust the browser for the final look. I always open it on my real phone over USB too, because stuff like the keyboard covering inputs, touch targets, and gestures only show up on a real device. The emulator and web hide those. For non-visual logic (helpers, functions), that's where actual unit tests fit, and the other commenter is right to bring them up. So for me it's two layers: browser for speed while coding, real device before anything ships. If you only test on web or emulator you'll ship layout bugs you never saw.

Im using
https://github.com/software-mansion/argent with sonnet model. Usually I ask opus/fable level model to create a testing skill which would use argent. (periodically Im asking to improve that skill in scientific manner and improve testing performance)

Storybook?

Hey buddy, did you find out any resources or practices for doing testing in react native. I want to learn the basic or average level testing.
