Testdriven utveckling för mobila applikationer/Android

Abstract

Android is one of the leading software platforms for the new generation of smartphones. The market for applications is growing rapidly. So to be able to compete with such large competition the applications need a solid and stable development methodology. Therefore have we created an application based on a test-driven development, to investigate if the methodology was applicable on the Android platform. The conclusion is that Android’s suitability for test-driven development is dependent on the application that is being developed and if difficulties concerning the testing framework can be avoided. We find it suitable for applications that are not being dependent on components of external applications. Although, the concerns regarding the test-framework is unavoidable without the use of suitable third party libraries.
