does it still work?
does it work on ?
testing provides feedback
why don’t we test?
manual testing can be expensive
manual testing can be tedious
“Computers are designed to do simple repetitive tasks. The second
you have humans doing repetitive tasks, all the computers get together late at night and laugh at you…” - Neal Ford

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
touch(...)
touch(...) what?
None

good view selectors == sustainable tests
accessibility is your best friend
record-and-playback test suites are not sustainable
