Test apps on Android Part of Android Jetpack.
Testing your app is an integral part of the app development process. By running tests against your app consistently, you can verify your app's correctness, functional behavior, and usability before you release it publicly.
Testing also offers the following advantages:
- Rapid feedback on failures.
- Early failure detection in the development cycle.
- Safer code refactoring, allowing you to optimize code without worrying about regressions.
- Stable development velocity, helping you minimize technical debt.
