Quality Tools for Android

Posted on | In | | Visitors

This is an Android sample app + tests that will be used to work on various project to increase the quality of the Android platform.

The idea is that Android programming is still in its infancy compared to the Java world. The Android community needs more robustness in Android apps and it looks like a good idea to build on the Java world experience and use its best tools for Quality Analysis.

We want to provide a full featured industrial development environment that can be used to create more robust projects on Android, by using any of the most interesting and popular technologies.

Here are some slides to present Quality Tools for Android.

Already integrated :

  • Standard Android testing framework and code coverage using emma, reported in Sonar. That also covers robotium, easy mock and mockito technologies.
