• Google Espresso

Espresso is a new tool, and the API is more precise than other tools. and smaller, more concise and easier to learn. It was originally launched at the 2013 GTAC Conference, with the goal of allowing developers to write more concise UI test code for the app.

Look forward to further improvement. In the test server request, the Robolectric data simulation and the delay sends the simulation, provides the good solution to the multi-threaded state test.
