Provides a good starting point for doing android testing with Android Studio.

Jinu Apr 13, 2017

Good book to start but it does not have substantial code in it for absolute beginners to understand.And the testing Framework used in this book is currently deprecated.

Jimi Damon Jul 15, 2016

I bought this book hoping that I could apply some android testing techniques to some of the apps that I build for work. What I found is a book that , perhaps to no fault of the authors, hasn't caught up with Google's perpetually ( and nauseatingly ) changing Gradle infrastructure combined with AndroidStudio. So, what happens is that when you try to download their samples off of Packet Publishing is that you get source code that barely works. For instance, a number of their example JUnit tests completely fail because permissions weren't set correctly in an AndroidManifest file . This isn't really entirely the authors' fault because Google has been screwing with this for the last 5 years or so. But there are other issues as well. The book doesn't give you good instruction on how to set up any of the advanced testing they are doing by way of Android Studio. As anyone who is doing Android programming, Android Studio is considered both the solution and cause of every problem related to Android . Hence, if you write a book explaining how to do something with Android and you don't provide some examples that show you how to say enable permissions for a Junit test for modifying bookmars from within Android Studio, you are doing your readers a disservice.I found that the book just mentions a bunch of types of tests you can use , something you could learn from any other book on testing software, but offers no real good or working examples of how to use those techniques to test the Android UI or an App's services...etc.
