The mobile world is growing and developing. Our applications are not only “to download from a server and to show in a list”. Our applications are big infrastructure, increasing the complexity of projects and the desire to release faster. And if we want stable and frequent releases then we need autotests. But. Autotests - is a good solution, no doubts. But where to begin? How do you write them? What underwater icebergs are waiting for us? In my speech, I want to describe how to start. Together we will go through:
history of the implementation of autotests in processes of the mobile department in KasperskyLab
choosing of appropriate tools
creating of code-style (yes-yes, autotest’s code is also a common program code)
our pain that we had and why we have created a new framework. And how this framework has made our life easier
How to write end-to-end tests with integration tests. How to make sure that your autotests start to work and that you receive the benefits as early as possible?
How have we made the process of creating screenshots light and fast?
I’m sure that after my speech you will not be afraid of autotests.

I have been an android developer since 2012 and engaged at a lot of different projects like LinguaLeo, SberbankBusinessOnline (famous apps in Russia). My current project is Kaspersky Internet Security for Android. Also, there are my personal development blogs in Russian and in English. Welcome to my GitHub page, where you may find out different opensource projects starting with small examples for articles and ending with frameworks(Kaspresso), libraries(AdbServer) and even architectural CookBook. My current passion is autotests. I believe that autotests can make our lives easier. Yes, we need to complete a lot of preparing work to reach the mentioned dream. But the dream is even closer than it had been not so long ago.
