Quality and operational excellence

• Define an effective mobile-testing strategy covering unit, component, integration, accessibility and end-to-end testing.
• Promote test automation using tools such as Jest, React Native Testing Library, Detox or Appium, and establish appropriate quality gates within CI/CD pipelines.
• Ensure effective monitoring, analytics and crash reporting to improve application stability and performance.
