Testing is a critical software development activity because it helps you
improve the quality of your apps, ensure better user satisfaction, and
reduce overall development time spent on fixing defects.
</p>
<p>The following sections describe tools that help
you test your mobile apps for the Android platform.</a>

<dt><strong><a href="{@docRoot}tools/testing-support-library/index.html">Android
Testing Support Library</a></strong></dt>
<dd>This library provides a set of APIs that allow
you to quickly build and run test code for your apps, including JUnit 4 and functional user
interface (UI) tests. The Android Testing Support Library includes the following test automation
tools:
<ul>
<li><a href="{@docRoot}tools/testing-support-library/index.html#AndroidJUnitRunner">AndroidJUnitRunner</a>:
JUnit 4-compatible test runner for Android
</li>
<li><a href="{@docRoot}tools/testing-support-library/index.html#Espresso">Espresso</a>:
UI testing framework; suitable for functional UI testing within an app
</li>
<li><a href="{@docRoot}tools/testing-support-library/index.html#UIAutomator">UI Automator</a>:
UI testing framework; suitable for cross-app functional UI testing across system and installed apps
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a href="{@docRoot}tools/help/monkey.html">Monkey</a></strong></dt>
<dd>This tool runs on your emulator or device and generates pseudo-random streams of user
events such as clicks, touches, or gestures, as well as a number of system-level events. You can
use the Monkey tool to stress-test applications that you are developing, in a random yet
repeatable manner.

<dt><strong><a href="{@docRoot}tools/help/monkeyrunner_concepts.html">monkeyrunner</a></strong></dt>
<dd>This testing system provides an API for writing programs that control an Android device or
emulator from outside of Android code.</dd>
