Hello! We publish a report from the meeting of the Mosdroid community, which took place in our office on March 3. The participants discussed the Spock framework, nuances of securing android applications and CI processes, and also held a round table “AutoTests and Android”, where they shared their experience in using UI tests developed in projects of various sizes: from startups to large companies with dozens of full-time developers .

Under the cut - videos, presentations, links to a photo report and feedback from listeners.

Spock and Android, Alexander Yezhkov, Alfa Bank JSC

The report does not have an introduction to testing, step-by-step comparisons with other frameworks for testing, benchmarks and test run time - just a story about Spock. In practice, we analyze the work with the framework and decide whether it is suitable for our tasks:

Reviews:

Excellent report. Even if the topic is not the top one, it is very well built.

“CI processes in Android Avito development”, Sergey Pinchuk, Avito

Sergey talks about Android development at Avito and shares practices that facilitate the work of the team. We talk in detail about the texts: when and which ones should be launched and how much should they be trusted. The report also describes what problems the Avito team faced, how they were solved, and what the guys are looking for in the future.

Round table "Autotest and Android"

Alexander Smirnov, Alexander Ezhkov and Dmitry Voronin talk about auto tests on Android. They share their experience in using UI tests that have been developed in projects of various sizes: from start-ups to large companies with dozens of full-time developers, answer questions from the audience, speak extensively about the feasibility of writing UI tests, possible pitfalls, and features of testing on real devices.

"(Not) Security 101", Grigory Dzhanelidze, Mosdroid

And again we are talking about security. Grigory talks about how to do it is not exactly necessary, how you should not do it most likely, what tools exist for different tasks and ... how to live with it all.
