[aerogear-dev] Android integration tests and modules

Ideally we would like to quit using the Robolectric Android stubs and begin using Google's Android APIs for linking and testing. This is one of the reasons that the unit tests havn't been brought over to the modules YET. Over the weekend (between family duties and internet issues) I did a lot of research and coding towards moving our tests into the module packages. With the release of X86 emulators and stability Genymotion, I think that using solely integration test projects for our testing is now doable. The Android SDK (current, ANT/Eclipse based) way is to have a separate test project. The Android SDK (future Gradle based) way is to have your tests in a test package. The maven way (Maven based Android builds) is to have a parent project with two children: one child being code and the other child being tests. Currently we have one BIG integration test project which contains all of our integration tests. I think that we should move the tests out of our monolithic project and into the modules where they probably belong. I also propose that we make each module in the two child project pattern that then Maven based builds recommend. When it is time to move to Gradle then we can just fiddle with sourceSets and kill the Maven build. Wdyt? -- Summers Pittman
