In this book, you'll learn about Android Test-Driven Development the quick and easy way: by following fun and easy-to-read tutorials. This book is for the intermediate Android developers who already know the basics of Android and Kotlin development but want to learn Android Test-Driven Development.

Great way to start, but the book needs an update.

The TDD concepts, theory and advice are excellent, but it unfortunately needs a major update for 2021.

- no use of truth library
- mockito usage is old
- sample code bundle does not decompress on a Windows Machine. (its a tiny zip bomb and it had issues decompressing some long path names. so decompress on a mac and copy the files over.)
- needs more examples with HILT and Dagger dependency injection
- probably needs a chapter on Nitrogen test orchestration.
- I love the focus on non instrumented tests, but for a newbie it would be confusing without a bit of an explanation.

As I said, this is an EXCELLENT getting started for their TDD concepts, theory and advice; but this book is rapidly getting outdated. Such as anything internet related really.

I just finished chapter 8 and I can say that these guys made a good job introducing TDD on android. It is well written and so far I haven't had problems with the code.
I totally recomend this book.

This book in my opinion has an aproach to advanced Junior audience. The tutorials are step by step but clearly explained, also contain an introduction to some design patterns. In essence, this book covers EndtoEnd in diferent levels of testing to develop an application. At worst? the price, very expensive
