It uses a custom annotation and AndroidJUnitRunner filters to target specific tests, then passes arguments through adb or Gradle so the checks can be enabled only under chosen conditions, such as CI runs. ### Source excerpt Intro This is really a note for my future self. Recently, I had a situation where I wanted to perform some extra checks after a test has been run. These additional checks are done after each test is run via a Junit rule SpecialRule which is applied to a test suite. For the purpose of illustration, let's say our SpecialRule looks like this: class SpecialRule : TestRule { override fun apply(statement: Statement, desc: Description): Statement { return object : Statement() { override fun evaluate() { try { // Run the test. statement.evaluate() } finally { // Perform extra checks after the test. Log.d("SpecialRule", "performing extra checks") } } } } } However, we were concerned about the run duration of the tests being extended significantly by the extra checks, so we wanted a bit more control. That led to some constraints. We wanted to: be able to selectively perform those checks on specific tests perform those checks only under certain conditions. Constraint #1 - Selectively perform additional checks on specific tests The immediate approach that came to mind was to use a custom annotation - @SpecialTest, and then somehow find a way to target the tests that are annotated with this. Luckily, the AndroidJunitRunner provides various filters to target specific annotations. For example, to run all the tests annotated with @SpecialTest , we will use something like: adb shell am instrument -w -e annotation com.mypackage.SpecialTest com.android.foo/androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner If you use Flank to run your tests on Firebase Test Lab, then you can use: --test-targets: "annotation com.mypackage.SpecialTest" Now that we can selectively target the tests, we need to extend our test rule to only perform these checks if the test is annotated with @SpecialTest annotation. Our SpecialRule then becomes something like: class SpecialRule : TestRule { override fun apply(statement: Statement, desc: Description): Statement { return object : Statement() { override fun evaluate() { t ## Firebase App Distribution Introduces Automated Tester (Beta) DevFeed: [Firebase App Distribution Introduces Automated Tester (Beta)]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Radhika Advani Published: 2024-02-21T00:00:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [Firebase Blog]() Topics: [Firebase](), [Smoke Tests](), [Android](), [Testing]() Tags: [android](), [announce](), [apk](), [app-distribution](), [app-quality](), [automated](), [best-practices](), [distribution](), [firebase](), [firebase-cli](), [test-lab]() ### AI overview Firebase App Distribution introduces Automated Tester (Beta), which runs automated smoke tests on Android app builds across selected devices and API levels.

It describes evaluating detections against the MITRE ATT&CK framework, identifying coverage gaps, and refining custom rules. The article recommends using a test lab or staging environment rather than production. ### Source excerpt In cloud-native environments, where applications scale up and down much faster than traditional monolithic application architectures, the ability to proactively identify and respond to threats in real time is paramount. As more organizations embrace cloud-native architectures for application delivery, more robust security measures need to be introduced. In this blog post, we delve into the dynamic realm of Kubernetes threat detection by exploring how open source Falco can seamlessly detect Atomic Red Team tests in real time within Kubernetes environments. Atomic Red Team is a powerful framework designed to simulate real-world attacks, providing organizations with a controlled environment to validate the effectiveness of their security measures. We take this a step further by deploying Atomic Red to Kubernetes with a single command, creating a realistic testing ground for evaluating the responsiveness of Falco. Our journey begins with the effortless deployment of Atomic Red to Kubernetes, showcasing the simplicity and efficiency of orchestrating security testing within containerized environments. Once deployed, we invoke specific Atomic Red Team tests, simulating a range of threat scenarios. The true test lies in Falco's ability to detect these threats in line with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, a globally-recognized matrix mapping adversary techniques to defensive tactics. This exploration is not just about identifying threats; it's a collaborative effort to enhance Falco's coverage. Should we identify any gaps in detection, we dive deeper, revising the executed techniques and crafting custom rules. This iterative process aims to extend our MITRE ATT&CK coverage, aligning Falco with the industry's best practices for threat detection and mitigation. Deploying Atomic Red Team To avoid any potential service disruption in production environments, we recommend installing Atomic Red in a test lab environment, or at least a staging environment of Kubernetes. We have a step-by ## Our Android testing process DevFeed: [Our Android testing process]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Headspace Published: 2022-06-22T05:16:52Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Stories by Headspace on Medium]() Topics: [Testing](), [Android](), [unit test](), [Mocking]() Tags: [android](), [android-testing](), [firebase](), [junit](), [mental-health](), [mobile-app-development](), [mobile-test-automation](), [mocking](), [quality-assurance](), [test-lab](), [testing]() ### AI overview Headspace describes its Android testing strategy after rewriting its app, including unit-test coverage standards, selective end-to-end testing, mocking, dependency injection, Robolectric, and Firebase Test Lab. ### Source excerpt Our testing strategy, how we integrate it into our development workflow, and what the future holds for testing at Headspace. By John Qualls, Senior Software Engineer, Greg Rami, Principal Software Engineer, and Anton Gerasimenko, Software Engineer Introduction When we took on the daunting task of rewriting our entire app at the end of 2019, one of our key focus areas was testability. At the time, we had less than 20% of our code covered by unit tests -- no integration or end-to-end (E2E) tests -- and adding any tests to the code base was a big effort. From the beginning, we agreed on the standard of at least 80% unit test coverage on all Pull Requests (PRs), E2E tests for critical flows, and an architecture that was focused on testability. The result is a more robust codebase. Today, we're able to capture critical bugs via our tests suite coverage before they hit our users and, very importantly, it's now trivial, and very fast, to add new tests. Let's detail our testing strategy, how we integrate it into our development workflow, and what the future holds for testing at Headspace. Testing Strategy Shortly after the rewrite, we had hundreds of unit tests and around twenty E2E tests. We wanted to optimize the number of E2E tests that we do to only certain use cases where it makes sense to take on the additional time and costs in exchange for the reduced risk. Test selection pyramid for cost and speedUnit Tests Our unit tests are straightforward. They test a very small unit of code by relying on JUnit 5 and different layers of mocking: MockK to mock all the dependencies that are unrelated to the current test. This is made easier by using good architecture principles such as Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) and Dependency Injection (DI) We introduced a Java Faker library, that provides "fakes" for primitive values that do not need to have a specific value Similarly, we have our own "model Fakers" that provide domain objects. That way when the underlying classes chang ## MockWebServer + HTTPS DevFeed: [MockWebServer + HTTPS]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2021-09-11T07:06:08Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Posts on Adam Bennett]() Topics: [configuration](), [Testing](), [Instrumentation](), [JSON](), [Network](), [Firebase]() Tags: [algorithms](), [android](), [blog](), [career](), [compose](), [configuration](), [development](), [engineering](), [finance](), [functional](), [growth](), [harness](), [instrumentation](), [java](), [jetpack](), [json](), [kotlin](), [money](), [network](), [opinions](), [security](), [software](), [startups](), [test-lab](), [testing](), [thoughts](), [training](), [tutorial]() ### AI overview This article describes configuring MockWebServer to serve HTTPS responses for instrumentation tests.
