JUnit has been nicely integrated into Android. JUnit classes are specialized to facilitate common Android testing tasks. In this post, I will talk about my experiences with InstrumentationTestRunner and the facilities it provides to integrate Android instrumentation with JUnit test execution.

As we have seen previously, the difficulty in JUnit-instrumentation integration stems from the fact that an instrumentation is an entire Android application, started, managed and terminated for testing purposes. One has to work quite a bit to make sure that the test controller is not terminated along with the application under test. InstrumentationTestRunner solves this problem by launching the Dalvik VM in special, instrumentation mode.

You can download the example program from here.

The test subject is our well known Calculator program that was renamed as Calculator2 so that we do not confuse it with the version coming from previous application packages, other than that it is the same simple program. Under aexp.calculator.tests, you will find two JUnit test classes. There are things to note, however.
  • Instead of TestCase, the test classes inherit from ActivityInstrumentationTestCase, templated by the activity class under test.
  • The constructor of the test class defines the activity under test class precisely.
One such test class or collection of test classes can be executed by InstrumentationTestRunner. Execute the following command (from command prompt).

adb shell am instrument -w aexp.calculator/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner

The console of the command prompt reads like this:

aexp.calculator.tests.AddFunctionalTests:...
aexp.calculator.tests.SubFunctionalTests:...
Test results for InstrumentationTestRunner=......
Time: 11.448

OK (6 tests)

Meanwhile, the emulator main window flashes with action. Calculator2 is launched 4 times, each time the key input is automatically provided by the test case. All this is arranged by the Android specialization of TestCase/TestRunner.

Please observe the AndroidManifest.xml of the project. Check out the uses-library tag and the use of instrumentation tag, particularly the targetPackage attribute that refers to the application package under test (and not the Java package name of the test classes). InstrumentationTestRunner automagically looks for test classes that fit the test execution criteria (again, check out InstrumentationTestCase documentation for options), there was no need to organize the test classes into suites.

Note that the arrangement of this project is not typical. I mixed the test classes and the activity under test into the same application. This eliminates a lot of deployment problems that caused so much trouble for so many people when playing with the Android test framework. The typical deployment, however, is to place the test classes and application under test into separate application packages. I will get to that in the next post.
