Trying to learn instrumentation testing scenarios. While going over the relevant documentation for the ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2
, i learned that we can use the ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2
in conjunction with Espresso
to write so called "functional" tests. Or at least that is what i understood from the relevant documentation.
However i ran into something called a ActivityUnitTestCase
and a ServiceTestCase
, which i had never heard of before. Trying to figure that out led me down a wild goose chase and now i am terribly lost here with so many verbiages to the whole Android testing paradigm.
-
Considering from a high level that Android testing broadly falls into two buckets:
Unit testing
andfunctional testing
. Out of the following, which falls under which.JUnit
,JUnit4
,TestCase
,AndroidTestCase
,ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2
,ServiceTestCase
,ApplicationTestCase
,AndroidTestRunner
,AndroidJUnitRunner
,AndroidJUnit4
-
What should be used when?
-
Do any of them relate to the actual Unit testing (by which i mean POJO testing). I ask this because i have noticed some tutorial links in which the sample test case extends
JUnit4
/TestCase
and is still termed a unit test whereas one of the links below does not extend anything at all and still works as a simplePOJO
test case. Which raises the question what exactly is the difference between aJUnit4
and simplePOJO
test class.
References that i have checked so far:
Robolectric vs Android Test Framework
Any ideas, tips much appreciated. Thanks!
