  3. Why testing? •  Testing increases the level of confidence in

    your code. •  Testing makes it possible to write new code, and refactor existing code, without worrying that you’ve broken existing functionality.
  4. JUnit •  JUnit is an open source framework that has

    been designed for the purpose of writing and running unit tests in Java.
  5. Mockito •  Mocking Frameworks allow us to test the code

    you want, without its dependencies. •  Mock objects can simulate the behaviour of complex objects. •  Mock objects isolate the unit of code you are testing.
  6. Robolectric •  Robolectric is a unit test framework that de-fangs

    the Android SDK jar so you can test-drive the development of your Android app. •  It rewrites Android SDK classes as they're being loaded and making it possible for them to run on a regular JVM.
  7. Android Test Framework •  Offered by the android framework. • 

    Needs an emulator to execute the tests •  Lets write unit, integration and functional tests. •  Has its own mocking framework
  8. More tools… •  Fest •  Spoon •  Robotium •  UI
