We have a lot of types of tests - hopefully we can create a more succinct overview to help new and existing contributors more easily determine what kind of test they really want to write, and how to write it!
Warning: This page is a work in progress, and thefore INCOMPLETE. Feel free to ask on IRC if you are unsure about what kind of test to write.TODO: you can also run |mach test ....| TODO: mxr search for directory
Java tests
Since most of our frontend code is Java, we also have a lot of Java tests:
| Test Type | How to run | Is executed in/on | Comments | Runs in automation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #Robocop Tests | mach robocop | On a device/emulator, with a server on your development machine | Allows testing of the running app. | Yes |
| #JUnit3 | tbc: in your IDE | On a device/emulator | Allows testing of non-UI Android dependent code | ??? |
| Roboelectric / junit4 | tbc: in your IDE | In your IDE / on your machine (purely local) | Allows testing of purely Java code that doesn't rely on Android frameworks. | ??? |
