Flaky Test Causes • Concurrency problems • Flaky third party
code • Resource idling.

Recipes Performance Regression
Recipes perfTests { devices.set([ ["model" : "Nexus5", "version" : "28"],
]) testTargets.set([ "class com.test.PerformanceTest" ]) }
Recipes regressionTests { devices.set([ [ "model" : "Nexus4", "version" :
"28"] ]) testTargets.set([ "class com.sample.MyRegressionTest" ]) }
Problems • Tests take too long to run • Flaky
tests • When do you run UI tests?
Nightly CI Job Running UI Tests Get Report Regression
Tests Fladle Build APK
Smoke Tests • Test basic functionality • Run on PRs
Smoke Tests @Retention(AnnotationRetention.RUNTIME) annotation class SmokeTest
Example - Firefox App • Open source • Nightly &
Smoke tests • Shards with Flank
https: / / github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix
Firefox App Test Rails Smoke Tests Fladle Build APK
Test Rails • Documentation for your test suite • View
results over time • Collaborate with QA

None
UI Tests Infra • Run tests in parallel • Use
Flank with Firebase test lab • Flaky tests
Unit Testing Infrastructure
Unit Testing Integration E2E Slower, more expensive Faster,
cheaper
How do we structure unit tests?
Problem class Presenter( val repo: Repo, ... )
Problem interface Repo { fun getData(): Data
... }
Structure Feature (folder) Public (Module) Impl (Module) Fakes (Module)
Structure class PresenterTest { val fakeRepo = FakeRepository()
val presenter = Presenter(fakeRepo) }
Structure Feature (folder) Public (Module) Impl (Module) Fakes (Module)
Dev Tools • Auto Generate module scaffolding • Enforce rules
on how modules depends on each other
Unit Testing Lint Rules • Enforce best practices
Unit Testing Lint Rules • Enforce best practices • Coroutine

Unit Testing Integration E2E Slower, more expensive Faster,
cheaper
Problem • Run only affected unit tests • Snapshot testing
with unit tests
Problem • UI Regressions • Example - Constraint layout changes
Paparazzi Gradle plugin to generate screenshot with unit tests Supports
Compose UI
Paparazzi @get:Rule val paparazzi = Paparazzi( deviceConfig = PIXEL_5,
theme = “android.Theme.Material.Light.NoActionBar” )
Paparazzi @get:Rule val paparazzi = Paparazzi( ... ) @Test fun
testView() { paparazzi.snapshot { UiView(uiState) } }
Paparazzi Git (LFS) Snapshot
Run Paparazzi tests
Paparazzi ~ ./gradlew app:recordPaparazziDebug // Generate Report
Paparazzi ~ ./gradlew app:verifyPaparazziDebug // Run again previously recorded
Problem • Run only affected unit tests • Creating snapshot
with unit testing • Unit testing database migrations
Database Migrations
Database Migrations id user_name user_email 1 User 1
[email protected]
2
User 2
[email protected]
User Table
Database Migrations id user_name user_email 1 User 1
[email protected]
2
User 2
[email protected]
User Table Rename to “email”
Database Migrations @RenameColumn( tableName = "users", fromColumnName =
"user_email", toColumnName = "email" ) class RenameFromUserAddressToAddress : AutoMigrationSpec
Database Migrations @Database( version = 2, autoMigrations = [ AutoMigration(
from = 1, to = 2, spec = UserDatabase.RenameFromUserAddressToAddress :: class ), ], )
How do we test migrations?
Test Migrations @get:Rule val helper: MigrationTestHelper = MigrationTestHelper( UserDatabase ::
class.java, listOf( UserDatabase.RenameFromUserAddressToAddress() ), )
Test Migrations @Test fun migrate1To2() { db = helper.createDatabase(TEST_DB, 1).apply
{ execSQL( """ INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, ‘User 1', ‘
[email protected]
') """.trimIndent() ) close() } }
Test Migrations @Test fun migrate1To2() { db = helper.runMigrationsAndValidate(TEST_DB,
2, true) }
Test Migrations @Test fun migrate1To2() { val resultCursor =
db.query("SELECT * FROM users”) // Perform assertions }
Problem • Test migrations with unit tests
Database Migrations JDBC SQLite Driver
DB Tools Room for Android Test Room with databases Migration
testing
https: // github.com/jeffdcamp/dbtools-room
Test Migrations class MigrationTest: BaseMigrationTest<UserDatabase>()
Test Migrations val db = Room.databaseBuilder( ... ) .openHelperFactory(JdbcSQLiteOpenHelperFactory(…)) .build()
Test Migrations fun testMigration(fromVersion: Int, toVersion: Int) { migrationTestExtension.createDatabase(name, fromVersion)
migrationTestExtension.runMigrationsAndValidate( name, toVersion, *migrations ) }
Problem • Run only affected unit tests • Creating snapshot
with unit testing • Unit testing database migrations

Gradle Testing
Problem • Detect build regressions

of iterations
