LinkedIn Makes Android Testing Tool Open Source

LinkedIn has decided to release as open source Test Butler, a tool that aims to provide a reliable Android software testing experience. Test Butler is a two-part Android project: it includes a library that your test code can depend on, as well as a companion Android app apk that is installed on your Android emulator before running tests. LinkedIn runs over one million tests each day using Test Butler. They believe that Test Butler can provide a benefit to anyone running Android tests as UI testing on Android can be unstable for a variety of reasons: tests could depend on being run in a certain order, or depend on some shared application state that may not be reset between tests. Test Butler stabilizes the Android emulator, to help prevent test failures caused by emulator issues. It also handles changing global emulator settings and holds relevant permissions so your Android app doesn’t have to. More information on http://ift.tt/2bLT1ZX

However, these accessories aren’t cheap, so customers veer towards the more affordable, third-party cables readily available on marketplaces, such as Amazon and eBay, but that’s not a good thing. Many consumers have reported that these chargers have caused harm to their handsets, so Google Engineer Benson Leung has taken it upon himself to purchase a selection of Type-C connectors from Amazon to test and see if they meet the standard specifications for use on his Nexus device. So far, Leung has been through seven cables and clai...
