We presented this library at Java Developer Conference Cairo 2012. The purpose of this library is to provide developers with the capability to do Data Driven Testing on Android.

1. A Data Driven Automated Test
Framework for Android

2. Agenda
Testing ??!!!!
Types of Testing
How People Test Software
The Manual Way
It is Bad!
The Solution (The Automated Way)
How to Implement Automation
The Wonderful TDD
Automation Steps
Words on Automation
Our Solution and Experience

3. Testing??!!!!

5. UNIT TESTING
INTEGRATION TESTING
ACCEPTANCE /functional TESTING
Performance TESTING
UI TESTING

6. HOW WE TEST

14. HOW

15. Wonderful TDD

18. Write Clean Testable Code

20. Integration Test

23. Data Driven

24. LOAD TEST
PERFORMANCE TEST

26. The most Useful tool for JAVA

27. reliable [ri-lahy-uh-buhl]
that may be relied on;
dependable in Achievement,
accuracy,

28. Trust In Your Machine

29. Don't Wast your Effort

30. How Far automation should I go ?!

31. MANUAL IS IMPORTANT

32. Change Is Hard.... In the beginning Only

33. Our Solution and Experience
DDT Library for Android

34. The story behind
IM Application XMPP Server
Registration
Presence
Edit Profile
Messaging

35. Login Loading Users Sorting Users
Pagination

36. Manual Testing Scenario
Quality Engineer would have to register users
manually (6 mandatory fields)
QE would enter each user’s Roster (must
exceed 22 to test pagination)
QE should take care of user names for sorting

37. Manual Testing Scenario
Verify User Login
Verify that Roster was loaded correctly
Verify that Roster is sorted correctly
Verify that pagination is working
Do the same when bugs are fixed and during
regression

38. Test Results
Quality Engineer
of course

39. Conclusions
Needed to apply Automated Testing
Some cases had to be handled using DDT

40. Why a new library?
None exists !!!
Time was tight to learn anything new
Leverage benefits of Automated Testing

41. The Library
Test Data
Expected Output
Automated Test Framework
Test Results
JSON file
JUnit for Android
DDT Library
Test
Results
Your Code

42. How it works?

43. How it works?

44. How it works?

45. Under the hood
Java
Google Gson library
(http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/)

46. Benefits of the library
Its free!! Its Open Source!!
Works on anything that is Java, even Android
Almost no learning curve (i.e. Its easy!!)

47. Drawbacks
Needs more work
All drawbacks of Automated Testing and DDT

48. Future work
Eclipse plugin
Construct JSON files,
Auto generate Data objects,
Map data to code that will be tested,
Generate junit test cases,
Generate better test results (Expected Output and
Actual Output)
