It's hard to tell, because you haven't told us very much other than the error message.
The message itself is what you would expect if you invoked one of the assert... methods in junit.framework.Assert and the method failed. This is indicated in the fifth line: "junit.framework.AssertionFailedError" The JUnit Assert class contains methods that throw Exceptions if the specified assertion is not true. For example, assertEquals(String,String) will throw an Exception if the two String objects are not equal. The assert failed in android.test.ApplicationTestCase.testApplicationTestCaseSetUpProperly(). This means, in effect, that Android was not able to set up your application. You must have created a test project, and it in added a test case class that extends ApplicationTestCase<T extends android.app.Application>. That test case class will, by default, call testApplicationTestCaseSetUpProperly(). I can't tell much more than that. Did you create a test project? Did you define a subclass of ApplicationTestCase<T>? Are you sure that T is the same as the name of your application class? As a side note, there's usually no reason to run a test on an Application class. If you want to test an "application", you should run unit tests on its Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs), and Android functional tests on the application's Android components (Activities, ContentProviders, etc.). POJOs can be unit tested in regular JUnit. You're free to use the Android testing framework, but if your POJO doesn't depend on Android to run, then you don't *need* the framework. Android components have to run within the Android framework, so they're strictly speaking functional tests. You still construct them with a unit testing philosophy, with one test method for each unique path through a single Android class. You use the Android testing framework to run these tests. This is described in the Developer Guide. The newly-announced 2.3 online Guide contains an expanded description of testing, under Dev Guide > Framework Topics > Testing. I suggest that you start by testing one of your Activity classes. The Dev Guide contains a tutorial on doing this, under Dev Guide > Tutorials > Activity Testing.
