It could be run directly on the IDE, Android Studio, or even from the command line.

To show how to create some simple unit tests in your application, we will write a small and simple calculator application and write some tests for it. Later, we will add some more functionality so we will see other kinds of test in action.

Simple calculator application

The aim of this calculator application is to provide an example of how to create and run tests, so the functionality aspect will be very limited and we...
