Can you explain what is meant by the term 'native testing' in the context of software development?

Native testing in software development is a testing process conducted using built-in or standard tools and resources provided by the platform or programming language itself, without the use of third-party libraries or frameworks. For example, in mobile development, native testing means using tools designed for a specific operating system (Android or iOS), such as Espresso for Android or XCTest for iOS.

This allows tests to be as close as possible to the real behavior of the application on the platform, ensuring high accuracy and reliability of results.
