This guide explains that Makepad does not have a dedicated makepad-test
crate or automated UI testing framework. Instead, it provides practical
testing strategies:
- Application structure for testability
- Separating business logic from UI code
- Unit testing with Rust's standard #[test] framework
- Integration testing patterns
- Manual UI testing via cargo run
- Platform-specific testing (iOS, Android, Web, Desktop)
- Visual regression testing (custom implementation)
- Example applications for manual testing
- Best practices and limitations
Includes code examples showing how to:
- Structure Makepad apps for testability
- Write unit tests for business logic
- Create example test applications
- Document manual test cases
- Set up CI/CD pipelines
This addresses the gap in Makepad's testing ecosystem by providing
a comprehensive guide for developers.
