Instrumentation testing in Android Studio

Question

I'm new to testing and currently trying to write some tests in Android Studio. I have a sample application module and now trying to figure out, whether the instrumentation test needs to be a module of its own or whether the tests should go inside the src folder... I have read contradicting information on the web. If anyone had a sample, that would be great!

Answer 1

With eclipse ADT plugin and older version of the SDK it was a requirement to put the integration tests in a separate module.

With the gradle build system and android-studio you should be able to put your integration tests in src/test/java and running them from the IDE or gradle command line without pain.

That's why you find contradicting information on the web.

Here is the reference
