Overview of this book

<p>In Test Driven Android Development, we discuss how good Object Oriented Design and Test Driven Design are complementary. We create a simple JUnit test, using a stub object that represents a data feed. Next, we demonstrate how to write a test driven design unit test for a Java class that performs network operations. After that, we create a unit test for a data access object that uses a JSON data feed. Our test includes JUnit 4 asserts and Hamcrest-style asserst. Then, we discuss blockers that prevent us from writing unit tests, and how we can use Mockito, code coverage, and automatic test execution to ameliorate those blockers. Finally, we look at UI testing with Espresso, and multi-platform testing with Firebase.</p> <h1>Style and Approach</h1> <p>This is a step by step video with a tutorial style approach. The sections will focus on individual app modules and how implementing different TDD method will help you to create reliable and smarter apps in less time.</p>

The Testing Pyramid
GUI at the top, integration in the middle, and unit tests at the bottom. Unit tests are the most important, so they get the most space in our testing real estate. - How do unit tests, integration tests, and user interface (UI) tests relate to each other? - What roles do business analysts, quality analysts, and developers play in quality? - Who has the input on tests?
