Test apps on Android Part of Android Jetpack.
Testing your app is an integral part of the app development process. By running tests against your app consistently, you can verify your app's correctness, functional behavior, and usability before you release it publicly.
Testing also offers the following advantages:
- Rapid feedback on failures.
- Early failure detection in the development cycle.
- Safer code refactoring, allowing you to optimize code without worrying about regressions.
- Stable development velocity, helping you minimize technical debt.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
