Agile Android

by Godfrey Nolan

This concise book walks you through how to get unit testing and test driven development done on Android, specifically using JUnit 4. You'll learn how to do agile development quickly and correctly, with a significant increase in development efficiency and a reduction in the number of defects. Up until now getting JUnit testing up and running in Android was not for the faint hearted. However, "now it’s in Android Studio, there is no excuse," according to author Godfrey Nolan, president of RIIS LLC. Android developers are faced with their own set of problems such as tightly coupled code, fragmentation, and immature testing tools, all of which can be solved using existing agile tools and techniques that this short book will teach you. Android developers and IT managers. Healthcare, financial, entertainment and government. Senior developers, software architects, lead developer, IT directors, CTOs, CISOs.

This book is very concise and is a very high level overview of writing tests for native Android development project. It gives you a taste of the tools that you can use to write tests and aid writing more tests.

Who does this book help? If you're a novice developer wondering what tools to use and how to get started using those, then this book is for you. You could perhaps be that curious Manager who is wanting to wrap his/her head on the tools that your Android development teams use.

This is a book I looked for. It clearly describe how to do testing on Android in correct and simple way.
I found about this book via author's blog at http://riis.com/blog/hamcrest-jacoco-... almost immediately knew I have to buy it.

Looks like a multi-part blog post converted into a small book. Offers a generic view of Android testing frameworks. I think the book title should be something like "Android testing survey".
