If it's for a school project, then it's whatever your teacher says it is :)

You've raised a good question. It's correct to to say that a unit test does
not involve all the classes of an application. Unit tests are also supposed
to run very quickly. We also usually don't include the GUI in unit tests.
Neither external web services.

In Android, though, we have a bit of a problem. To really run even by the
book unit tests, we'd have to either run them on the JVM or the DVM. In the
first case, we would be using .class files, in the latter case, .dex files.
But I don't know if we have DVM for anything but the emulator or the device.
And the emulator's DVM tends to run slow. Hmmm.

I would tend to agree that what is called unit testing in the Android SDK is
a bit different than the norm. I'd like to hear what others have to say.

[android-developers] Is it a UNIT Test or an Integration test?

2010-11-09 Thread Ians
I'm working on a school project and I'm researching testing
possibilities for Android applications.

On this page: 
http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/testing/helloandroid_test.html
Google writes about a unit test.

Is this really a unit test? A Unit test will not integrate all classes
and will not test in his context. So my opinion is it is not a Unit
Test but an Integration Test.

What do you think?
