In this Blog, we will learn about testing, testing modules, android testing, types of testing and Monkey testing.

Android testing

From above picture, we can easily understand that testing contains with part one is JVM from java and other is the android library.

Unit Testing

In unit testing, test runs on a local JVM on the development machine rather than android runtime. 

Unit testing is done by the android.jar library, all exception methods include in android.jar and execute by default.

JUnit Testing

You can use the JUnit TestCase class to do unit testing on a class that doesn't call Android APIs.

Testcase class is the super class for androidTestCase. You can easily understand with given code.

Public class Testapp extends TestCase

{

Int a;

Int b;

}

Protectd void testMethod()

{

a=10;

b=10;

}

public void testMethod () {

   int c = a + b;

   assertTrue(c == 5.0);

}

Monkey testing

MonkeyTalk is tools which use to test any android or I-Phone application or test and device. In android SDK include these testing tools. We can test any device or any application with two types first Junit testing and second is monkey testing. Junit test any application by test classes and the monkey is a command line tool which tests with device action like touch screen, gesture and other.

Device Testing  structure

Monkey Testing Feature

        There is four main feature of monkey testing.

• Basic configuration option
• Debugging option
• Event types 
• Operational constraints

Monkey Testing using Shell Command for device

There are a lot of a command to execute monkey testing.

Ex:  adb shell monkey  -v 500

Where  –v represent verbose method and 500 represents no. of the event to be sent for testing.

Monkey testing

MonkeyTalk is tools which use to test any android or I-Phone application or test and device. In android SDK include these testing tools. We can test any device or any application with two types first Junit testing and second is monkey testing. Junit test any application by test classes and the monkey is a command line tool which tests with device action like touch screen, gesture and other.

Monkey Device Testing  structure

Monkey Testing Feature

                  There is four main feature of monkey testing.

• Basic configuration option
• Debugging option
• Event types 
• Operational constraints

1) Monkey Testing using Shell Command for android device

There are a lot of a command to execute monkey testing.

Ex:  adb shell monkey  -v 500

Where  –v represent verbose method and 500 represents no. of event to be sent for testing

2) Monkey Testing with Shell Command for android application

There are lots of commands to execute monkey testing.

Ex:  adb shell monkey –p <package name> -v 500

Where -p represent package and –v represent verbose method and 500 represents no. of the event to be sent for testing.

3) Run the same event sequence again in monkey testing

Sometimes you want to check an application on the same sequence or randomly again so you will have to test exact same sequence with monkey tool.

Ex: adb shell monkey –p  <package name> -s 999 –v 500

Here –s refer to seed and 999 is seed value

4) Monkey testing to get Event time

If want to set fix time between events so we can do it by the throttle.

Ex: adb shell monkey –p  <package name>  -- throttle 1000  –v 500

5) Monkey testing to get Touch Event percentage

We can also test an application touch event percentage.

Ex: adb shell monkey –p  <package name>  --pct-touch 25  –v 500

6) Monkey testing to get Motion Event percentage

We can also test an application motion event percentage.

Ex: adb shell monkey –p  <package name>  --pct-motion 25  –v 500

7) Monkey testing to get Any Event percentage

We can also test an application any event percentage.

Ex:  adb shell monkey –p  <package name>  --pct-anyevent 25  –v 500

8) Monkey testing to get Number of Events 

We can also find no events use on any android device.

Ex: adb shell monkey --dbg-no-event   –v 500

9) Monkey testing to Ignore Crashes

If we want to fill full test an application without crashes we use this command or we want the full test by avoiding crashes. This Command avoids any type’s exception.

Ex: adb shell monkey –p  <package name>  –ignore-crashes –v 500

10) Monkey testing to Ignore Timeouts

If we want to fill full test an application without the timeout exception we use this command or we want the full test by avoiding timeout crashes. 

Ex: adb shell monkey –p <package name> –-ignore-timeouts –v 500

11) Monkey testing to Ignore Security Exceptions

If we want to fill full test an application without security exception we use this command or we want the full test by avoiding security exception crashes. 

Ex: adb shell monkey –p <package name> –-ignore-security-excetions –v 500
