⚡ 1000-taps challenge

Ready for something that will blow your mind? Let's demonstrate TapTest's incredible speed with a performance showcase that would take a human tester over 16 minutes to complete manually!

test/e2e_test.dart
tapTest('My E2E Widget test', config, (tt) async {
  await tt.exists(AppKeys.homeScreen);
  await tt.expectText(AppKeys.counterLabel, 'Click counter: 0');
  await tt.tap(AppKeys.incrementButton);
  await tt.expectText(AppKeys.counterLabel, 'Click counter: 1');

  // 👉 Add more taps
  await tt.tap(AppKeys.incrementButton);
  await tt.tap(AppKeys.incrementButton);
  await tt.expectText(AppKeys.counterLabel, 'Click counter: 3');

  // 👉 There is also count parameter
  await tt.tap(AppKeys.incrementButton, count: 7);
  await tt.expectText(AppKeys.counterLabel, 'Click counter: 10');

  // 👉 Feel free to use typical language features like for loops
  for (var i = 11; i <= 1000; i++) {
    await tt.tap(AppKeys.incrementButton);
    await tt.expectText(AppKeys.counterLabel, 'Click counter: $i');
  }
});

Run the test flutter test test and you should see the following output:

📋 Result​

My E2E Widget test
✅ HomeScreen exists
✅ Text of CounterLabel matches "Click counter: 0"
✅ IncrementButton tapped
✅ Text of CounterLabel matches "Click counter: 1"
✅ IncrementButton tapped
✅ IncrementButton tapped
✅ Text of CounterLabel matches "Click counter: 3"
✅ IncrementButton tapped 7 times
✅ Text of CounterLabel matches "Click counter: 10"
✅ IncrementButton tapped
✅ Text of CounterLabel matches "Click counter: 11"
✅ IncrementButton tapped
✅ Text of CounterLabel matches "Click counter: 12"
...
✅ IncrementButton tapped
✅ Text of CounterLabel matches "Click counter: 999"
✅ IncrementButton tapped
✅ Text of CounterLabel matches "Click counter: 1000"
00:08 +1: All tests passed!

🏆 It took TapTest only 8 seconds to perform 2000 operations - 1000 taps and 1,000 text verifications! Plot Twist: The test is actually even faster - the console output slows it down by ~40%! Without logging (configurable), we're talking about 5-second execution!

With this kind of speed, you can write comprehensive test suites that cover:

  • 🎯 Every user interaction path
  • 🛡️ All edge cases and error scenarios
  • 🎨 Visual regression testing
  • 📱 Multiple screen sizes and themes
  • 🤯 Complex multi-step workflows

🔄 Rollback to practical testing​

Amazing demonstration, right? You've seen TapTest's incredible performance capabilities! However, for practical test development, we don't need such extreme scenarios. Let's drop this performance showcase and return to building a clean, comprehensive test suite that focuses on real-world functionality.

Here's our refined counter test - much more maintainable and focused on actual user behavior:

test/e2e_test.dart
tapTest('My E2E Widget test', config, (tt) async {
  await tt.exists(AppKeys.homeScreen);
  await tt.expectText(AppKeys.counterLabel, 'Click counter: 0');
  await tt.tap(AppKeys.incrementButton);
  await tt.expectText(AppKeys.counterLabel, 'Click counter: 1');
  await tt.tap(AppKeys.incrementButton, count: 2);
  await tt.expectText(AppKeys.counterLabel, 'Click counter: 3');
});
