In this course, you'll be introduced to testing for an Android app. You'll learn about basic unit testing and functional tests that need to be performed on a virtual device. You'll also examine the role of the Espresso Framework in simplifying the coding of UI tests by recording your actions on an emulator.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Discover the key concepts covered in this course
    Run a unit test using the android studio ui and analyze the results
    Define a simple unit test that does not involve the use of ui elements of your android app
    Modularize your unit tests by separating the common setup tasks into a separate function
    Execute an instrumented test using android studio
    Code the startup tasks for an instrumented test on one of the activities in your app
    Define a functional test for your android app involving interactions with various ui elements
    Write functional tests for your android app involving interactions with spinners, text fields, and buttons
  • Automate the testing of various ui elements in your app by codifying the navigation to the different activities
    Execute a functional test against the main activity of your app and verify the results
    Run multiple tests that involve common setup tasks and verify the behavior of the app in an emulator
    Verify the functionality of validators in your app by running tests against an activity that uses them
    Record your actions on an emulator in order to simplify the creation of ui tests for your android app
