Engineers love excellence & performance. Managers are all about creating product value... by interrupting. Middle ground is to be found, and it's not hyper-focused developers at fault. Studies show: organizational decisions win! Happiness increases. Value increases.

The wiki article on the Now in Android repository "Testing strategy and how to test" is quite interesting. It takes a firm stand on how and when to write screenshot, UI and unit tests. I recommend! :)

Must-read article for anyone who wants to learn about shared elements / movable persistent UI / adaptive layouts. Especially relevant now that Android is moving towards optimizing for any window size quite fast.

JUnit 6 will be released in 2025.
Android is still using JUnit 4, which was released in 2006, had its last major update in 2014.
Official Android support for JUnit 5 is "not worth it" according to Google.

Highly recommend using Android Studio Preview (Canary) for hobby projects.
Super easy if you use JetBrains Toolbox. Revert/skip broken versions in a split-second. Be first to try out new features.
