How Shazam works

Some numbers

Happy users Even developers?

Android testing

Faster release cycles

Better code

Cheaper http://testdroid.com/testdroid/5851

Easy

A user walks into a bar

Doing it the test driven way "" "" Write"UI" test" Implement" Refactor " Write"unit"test" BDD" TDD"

Test first •   Generally easier •   Eliminates external dependencies •   Easily repeatable

The Acceptance Tests cycle "" "" Write"UI" test" Implement" Refactor " Write"unit"test" BDD" TDD"

Acceptance criteria •   Given: arrange •   When: act •   Then: assert

Example Given a user is near a music venue And the server always returns a known result

When the user Shazams

Then the user can check-in their discovery

gwen

!given(user). isNear ( lexington ());! !given(server).returns( lustForLife ());! !! !when(user). shazams ();! ! !then(user). canCheckIn ( lustForLife (),! lexington ());! http://github.com/shazam/gwen

Other libraries for Acceptance Tests •   Instrumentation •   JUnit 3 •   Espresso & Robotium

•   Fork •   HamMock Server

The Unit tests cycle "" "" Write" UI"test" Implement" Refactor " Write"unit" test" BDD" TDD"

What we don’t test Activities & Fragments http://github.com/xxv/android-lifecycle

What we don’t test

What we do test

•   Presentation logic •   Business logic •   That’s it

The MVP pattern

Presenter Model View

The MVP pattern

Presenter Model View Android

The MVP pattern

•   Makes presentation logic testable •   No need to test “dummy” view •   Avoid Android dependencies

Dependency Injection, Yourself

•   Breaks hardcoded dependencies •   Behaviour

vs Implementation •   Implementations for test & runtime

Feature X Hardcoded dependencies

Client Feature X

Dependency Injection
