A great article which explains about design document clear.

gitextensions - GitExtensions is a shell extension, a Visual Studio 2008/2010/2012 plugin and a standalone Git repository tool.

Was wondering why the text is so confusion while performing merge using git gui, and here is an explanation and a fix.

Monkey runner

First and foremost command :

type : monkeyrunner

This will open up a interpreter. From then on its about how we interact; The document provided in android sdk site gives a brief idea on how this can be used.

http://developer.android.com/tools/help/monkeyrunner_concepts.html

I just created my first test case for the application : to verify if the Home address can be set. The steps we require are as follows, press 'Set Home' icon -> Acknowledge the dialog box -> Pick item from Search -> Save it to Home (will return to Home scree).

From where if the 'Home' icon pressed will begin navigating.

For the whole sequence to execute, we just use the

device.press(x, y, MonkeyDevice.DOWN_AND_UP) command.

Simple, beautiful & ad-free. Read the manifesto:

Monkey and MonkeyRunner

If you had never heard of this tool, your life is turning better now. Monkey is a simple tool which allow to generate pseudo-random gestures, on a device or on an emulator. Shortly, you can in a few seconds simulate a user using your application, but a pretty stupid one (just as all users ?) because all his actions will be generated randomly. These actions won’t make any sense, but the aim here is to detect bugs in your app, and this can be very useful.

Note 1: This is absolutely not a substitute to other tests you should do (like unit tests…). Do what I say, not what I do :p

Note 2: For this tut, I suppose you have one emulator or a device connected in debug mode (with ADB drivers installed). I won’t detail this part.

Here we go, launching cmd, and browsing to [android-sdk-path]**/platform-tools.The basic command to use monkey is the following:

adb shell monkey <options>

For example, if your application package is com.myapp and you want to generate 1000 gestures, with a delay of 500ms between each event, you have to use this command:

adb shell monkey -p com.myapp --throttle 500 -v 1000

Going further…

If you want to go one step further, you can automate a lot of things ,like the installation on the device, the launch, screenshots, etc. with the monkeyrunner tool

test suite

as my Android application Galactio is growing bigger, it's high time for me to start considering to use new tools or techniques to test the application. When I mean 'growing bigger' I literally mean it. As of now there are too many variants of the application. Each country having its own version so the features differ, Ui differs, Orientation of application changes bringing in a new dimension to the application. And moving forward I only see the system getting more complicated and heavy. This directly affects QA team to test and keep all variants of the application in good shape. Foreseeing some of the problem a year ago we partly solved the problems. Thanks to introduction of gradle , it's surely a big life saver. We maintain and manage different variants of the application as flavours which makes sure that any line of code we change only affects for that particular variant. I'll share in my thoughts on the development of various tools and techniques from now on.

It’s exciting to see how much technology has changed (and shrunk) in the last twenty-five years. But no app will ever replace adorable pictures of puppies…

This reminded us of Kevin Kelly’s talk about the evolution of technology»

Set benchmarks, but sometime we need to compromise.

Startups can’t do things the same way big companies do

food for thought. relying heavily on technology to journal memories may turn out to become a disaster if the service provider like Instagram , fb, etal., decides to delete it.
