Testing Android apps

Abstract

Run unit tests, instrumented tests, and device tests for Android apps, using Bitrise's dedicated Android Steps. You can view your results in one location in the Test reports add-on.

  • Run unit tests for Android apps with our Android Unit Test Step. You can configure the Step to run tests on certain modules and variants, and you can pass additional arguments to the Gradle task running the tests. The Step can also export the test results to the Test Reports add-on.

  • Run instrumented tests using the Android Build for UI Testing and the Android Instrumented Test Steps. The Steps generate and export an APK and a test APK and then run your instrumented tests using adb.

You can easily run multiple tests in parallel with Pipelines: Currently supported use cases for the Android platform.

In this section:

A Step is a block of script execution that encapsulates a build task on Bitrise: the code to perform that task, the inputs and parameters you can define for the task, and the outputs the task generates.

A Bitrise Pipeline is the top level of the Bitrise CI/CD configuration. Pipelines can be used to organize the entire CI/CD process and to set up advanced configurations with multiple different tasks running parallel and/or sequentially.
