Wondering which one is the better choice to write unit test cases for android apps and libraries: Using Robolectric library or sticking with Android Testing framework. I want to run test suite at commandline and want it be independent of need of configuring emulator or letting a device attached with build machine. Does anyone of you run a comparative analysis on both of these or something better? Your experiences will be great help me to decide on the better solution.
In general, Appium and Calabash are good cross-platform frameworks in testing both your Android and iOS versions at the same time. Espresso is a good choice if you are purely testing Android apps. Therefore, think about your testing need – functional testing, compatibility testing, UI testing, etc.
In Android, there are two test types. The tests running on our local Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The tests running on our Android platform (in which we need devices or emulator).
Android App Development for Beginners The Android framework includes an integrated testing framework that helps you test all aspects of your application and the SDK tools include tools for setting up and running test applications.
unit tests can be written under test java package, and instrumental tests can be written under androidTest package. You can then access UI widgets using Espresso ViewMatchers and then you can apply actions on them using ViewActions . Check documentation for further help. Show activity on this post.
I use a tiered system, where I prefer earlier tiers where possible:
The point of the tiers is to keep things as simple as possible, which keeps the full suite faster and helps promote cleaner code.
