HOW DO I MAKE IT EASY


• Base classes• Mocking• DI• OSS• Gradle scripts• Build Server

Just say no to “friction burn” image search

Joshua Coffman

Talk about base classes, utils, and leveraging OSS.If you are getting tired of doing it, either automate it or change it.Also, automate it regardless. Use scripts, gradle, and any tools you find helpful.Story/warning: don’t look up “friction burn” on google images.

MOCKING


Joshua Coffman

explain mocking for beginnersshow code snippet.Explain unit testing versus integration testing.

START WRITING TESTS


Keep it really simple at first

Reality Check.Getting started is the hardest part when you’re the only developer.

Getting buy-in is the hardest part when you work on a team.

Also: If you are getting tired of doing it, so is the team.

START WRITING TESTS


Then do something more meaningful, but still simple

RUNNING YOUR TESTS


Joshua Coffman

Gradle script and build server.

RUNNING YOUR TESTS


BUILD SERVER INTEGRATION


WATCH OUT FOR…


• flavors• unsupported api features• slow tests• asynchronous can’t be tested• SSL certificate issue with api calls

sometimes

WHAT ELSE?


UI Testing and build servers?Appium?Monkey Runner?UI Automator?Ranorex?Selendroid?
