testing provides feedback
why don’t we test?
manual testing can be expensive
manual testing can be tedious

UI select interact inspect
UI select interact inspect
user simulation touch(...) type_into_keyboard(...) set_orientation(...) double_tap(...) tap_and_hold(...) drag_with_initial_delay(...)
simulating gestures
UI select interact inspect
UI select interact inspect
touch(...)
touch(...) what?
None

view selectors a little language to specify which views you
are interested in e.g. CSS or XPath
demo!
good view selectors == sustainable tests
accessibility is your best friend
record-and-playback test suites are not sustainable
UI select interact inspect
UI select interact inspect
demo!
interact inspect select UI
