| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This document describes the comprehensive UI tests added to the MVI Coroutines Flow Android application. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Overview |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +The UI tests are built using: |
| 8 | +- **AndroidJUnit4** for test execution |
| 9 | +- **Espresso** for UI interactions and assertions |
| 10 | +- **ActivityScenarioRule** for activity lifecycle management |
| 11 | +- **Intent testing** for navigation verification |
| 12 | + |

| 80 | +## Running the Tests |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +### Prerequisites |
| 83 | +- Android device or emulator connected |
| 84 | +- App built in debug mode |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +### Command Line Execution |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +```bash |
| 89 | +# Run all UI tests |
| 90 | +./gradlew connectedAndroidTest |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +# Run specific module tests |
| 93 | +./gradlew app:connectedAndroidTest |
| 94 | +./gradlew feature-main:connectedAndroidTest |
| 95 | +./gradlew feature-add:connectedAndroidTest |
| 96 | +./gradlew feature-search:connectedAndroidTest |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +# Run specific test class |
| 99 | +./gradlew app:connectedAndroidTest -Pandroid.testInstrumentationRunnerArguments.class=com.hoc.flowmvi.MainActivityUITest |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +# Run with coverage |
| 102 | +./gradlew app:connectedAndroidTest koverGenerateXmlReport |
| 103 | +``` |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +### Android Studio Execution |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +1. Right-click on test class or method |
| 108 | +2. Select "Run 'TestName'" |
| 109 | +3. View results in Test Results panel |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +## Test Dependencies |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +The following dependencies were added to support comprehensive UI testing: |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +```kotlin |
| 116 | +// Core testing framework |
| 117 | +androidTestImplementation(libs.androidx.test.junit.ktx) |
| 118 | +androidTestImplementation(libs.androidx.test.core.ktx) |
| 119 | +androidTestImplementation(libs.androidx.test.rules) |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +// Espresso UI testing |
| 122 | +androidTestImplementation(libs.androidx.test.espresso.core) |
| 123 | +androidTestImplementation(libs.androidx.test.espresso.contrib) |
| 124 | +androidTestImplementation(libs.androidx.test.espresso.intents) |
| 125 | +``` |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +## Test Best Practices |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +1. **Page Object Pattern**: Consider implementing page objects for complex screens |
| 130 | +2. **Test Data**: Use consistent test data across tests |
| 131 | +3. **Isolation**: Each test should be independent and not rely on others |
| 132 | +4. **Assertions**: Use specific assertions rather than generic ones |
| 133 | +5. **Timing**: Use Espresso's built-in waiting mechanisms instead of Thread.sleep() |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +## Known Limitations |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +1. **Network Dependencies**: Some tests may require network mocking for consistent results |
| 138 | +2. **State Management**: Tests assume certain initial states of the app |
| 139 | +3. **Device Dependencies**: Some gestures may behave differently on different devices |
| 140 | +4. **Build Configuration**: Tests require the app to be in a testable state (debug build) |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +## Future Enhancements |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +1. **Network Mocking**: Add OkHttp MockWebServer for network request testing |
| 145 | +2. **Test Data Factory**: Implement test data builders for consistent test data |
| 146 | +3. **Screenshot Testing**: Add screenshot comparison testing |
| 147 | +4. **Performance Testing**: Add UI performance benchmarking |
| 148 | +5. **Accessibility Testing**: Add accessibility verification tests |
| 149 | +6. **Cross-platform Testing**: Extend tests for different device configurations |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +### Common Issues |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +1. **Resource ID not found**: Ensure the correct module context and R.id references |
| 156 | +2. **Activity not found**: Verify activity is exported and properly configured |
| 157 | +3. **Test timeouts**: Increase timeout values for slow operations |
| 158 | +4. **Flaky tests**: Add proper waits and state verification |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +### Debug Tips |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +1. Enable verbose logging with `adb logcat` |
| 163 | +2. Use Espresso's layout hierarchy dumps |
| 164 | +3. Add screenshot capture on test failure |
| 165 | +4. Use debugging mode to step through test execution |
