A  laborious  development  environment  :  eclipse  +  maven  +  m2eclipse  +  android  m2e  connector  è Many  hours  lost  è  Use  IntelliJ  !    

A  laborious  execu[on  environment  :  emulator  è  Too  slow  è  Use  Genymo[on  (or  at  least  a  device)  !    Not  enough  tests  :  è Instrumenta[onTestCase  are  too  heavy/slow  for  Unit  Tes[ng    è Use  Robolectric  and/or  think  about  MV*  paOern  è  Keep  Instrumenta[onTestCase  for  Android  specific  (Ac[vity,  Services,  …)    

Lessons � learned�

25  

A  robust  development  environment  :  eclipse  +  maven  +  m2eclipse  +  android  m2e  connector  è  s[ll  some  problem  with  eclipse  and  maven  integra[on    About  tests  è Instrumenta[onTestCase  are  fast  enough  with  GenyMo[on  è  Robolectric  can’t  give  you  enough  confidence
