Abstract
It’s 2022 and most businesses these days are mobile-first with a presence on major platforms. UI automation is a critical part of the testing strategy of businesses looking to release high-quality apps with confidence. While unit testing is a much wider adopted practice, writing scalable UI automation is often a challenge due to its higher fidelity.
Espresso is the dominant UI automation library for android from Google that provides a rich and concise API to test your android app's UI with confidence without sacrificing reliability and with minimal flakiness due to amazing integration with underlying instrumentation.
For an n00b engineer approaching their first Espresso test, it could be especially tough to wrap your head around its idioms and android context and get set up quickly.
