Introduction

Automated tests are key in maintaining high quality software. They help catch bugs immediately when introducing new code and also ensure that new features do not conflict with existing functionality. Another advantage of automated tests, specially for Android applications is that it greatly speeds up testing when you have multiple builds for different devices. In this blog post I’ll go over how we use robotium in our TASS mobile project to implement automated black box tests.

Robotium is a plugin that extends existing instrumentation tests available on Android and addresses its shortcomings. Limitations such as slow execution times and having to manually delay the application to wait for the desired screen to be ready. For example, delays caused by waiting for a network request to complete before proceeding to the next screen. Robotium works by sending screen commands such touch, swipe and keyboard input to the Android emulator running an application and verifying the resulting screen.

Create Android Test Project

We’ll first create a new Android Test project; make sure that the Android project that will be tested is currently in the workspace.

File → New → Other. Select Android/Android Test Project. Click Next.
Fill out next screen. Make sure that under Test Target you select the project that will be tested.
Download robotium 3.0 jar and place it in your project under a lib/ folder. Create the folder if necessary.
Add the robotium jar file to the build path. Right click on the project → Build Path → Configure Build Path
Click Add JARs.
Select robotium-solo-3.0.jar. Click OK.

Write Unit Test

Create a new unit test. Right click on the test project → New → JUnit Test Case
Name the unit test. I called mine, MainTest. Click OK.
Insert the following snippet to TestMain.java. This snippet opens the login screen (Home.class) on our TASS mobile application and enters the username and password located at the first textbox and second textbox. It will then click the login button. It verifies the success of the authentication by looking for the username text in the authenticated screen.

Run Unit Test

First launch the test target application. Right click, Debug As → Android Application. This will launch the application in the emulator.
Run the unit test. Right click the test project. Run As → Android JUnit Test.
We can see the result of the test under the JUnit tab and the test passed.
Conclusion
Robotium makes writing unit tests a breeze and is a solid option for your Android project. Another added benefit of Robotium is that it can integrated with Maven to have a fully automated build and test process. The sample unit test can be downloaded at the link below.

Robotium is a test framework created to make it easy to write powerful and robust automatic UI test cases for Android applications. With the support of Robotium, test case developers can write function, system and acceptance test scenarios, spanning multiple Android activities.

Robotium tests can be run on both emulator and device.

Benefits of Robotium

Easy to write
Shorter code
Automatic timing and delays
Automatically follows current Activity
Automatically finds Views
Automatically makes own decisions, e.g. when to scrolls
Test execution is fast

Installation

Robotium is downloaded as a single JAR file, which can be placed in any folder. To actually start using Robotium, the JAR must only be put in the classpath of the test project.

Robotium can be used with all the different build automation tools. Perform the below steps to use Robotium with Maven:

1. Set up your project(s) as usual for Maven, see maven-android-plugin.

2. Add a dependency to Robotium in your test project:

<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.jayway.android.robotium</groupId>
<artifactId>robotium-solo</artifactId>
<version>3.2.1</version>
</dependency>
..
<</dependencies>

NB: For the version number, enter the version number of the latest release!

Usage

Robotium can be used both for testing applications where the source code is available and applications where only the apk is available (implementation details not known). For more information, instructions, and step by step tutorials see the Robotium website.

To use Robotium, create an Android tests project and add a test class. Usually the ActivitityInstrumentationTestCase2 test class is used to write Robotium test cases. However, Robotium is compatible with all the Android test classes. When writing Robotium test cases only one class is used: Solo.

The below example illustrates how a Robotium test case might look like when used in conjunction with ActivityInstrumentationTestcase2:

Pinterest app for windows 8. public classEditorTestextendsActivityInstrumentationTestCase2<EditorActivity>{
private Solo solo;
publicEditorTest(){
super('com.test.editor', EditorActivity.class);
}
public void setUp()throwsException{
solo = newSolo(getInstrumentation(), getActivity());
}
public void testPreferenceIsSaved()throwsException{

solo.sendKey(Solo.MENU

);
solo.clickOnText('More');
solo.clickOnText

('Preferences');
solo.clickOnText('Edit File Extensions');

Assert.assertTrue(solo.searchText('rtf'));
solo.clickOnText('txt');
solo.clearEditText(2);
solo.enterText(2,'robotium');
solo.clickOnButton('Save');
solo.goBack();
solo.clickOnText('Edit File Extensions');
Assert.assertTrue(solo.searchText('application/robotium'));
}

@Override
publicvoid tearDown()throwsException{
solo.finishOpenedActivities();
}
}

Some Robotium commands

• getCurrentActivity()

• clickOnButton(String regex)

• clickInList(int line)

• enterText(int index, String text)

• searchText(String regex)

• waitForText(), waitForActivity(), waitForView()

• clickOnMenuItem(String text)

• goBack(), goBackToActivity(String name)
