Why does Android use JUnit over TestNG even if Cedric Beust created TestNg and was part of Android team?

Question

Just curious about it...

Cedric Beust created TestNG and I understand from an interview I read was part of the Android team. Why did they chose to use JUnit as the testing infrastructure for Android Eclipse Tools?

Isn't TestNG supposed to a better than JUnit?

Answer 1

I actually picked JUnit over TestNG for Android testing, I thought it was more lightweight than TestNG for on-device testing. That was in 2007, I'm not sure I would make that same choice today.
