What is Espresso?
Espresso is a test framework used to write Android UI tests, and part of the Android SDK. The Espresso API encourages test authors to think in terms of what a user might do while interacting with the application - locating UI elements and interacting with them. At the same time, the framework prevents direct access to activities and views of the application because holding on to these objects and operating on them off the UI thread is a major source of test flakiness.

- we cannot develop tests as individual frameworks, we share the repository with developers.
- We need to be cautious while making changes in the tests, as we share same repository
- Built-in Android Espresso API to automate tests
- Grey box testing, we can verify the developer's code from the tests
- Easy to learn, so that the new team member can contribute

As our app is complete on Android Espresso is the best choice over Appium Fewer efforts in Espresso over Appium, as Espresso provides some built-in library to perform the operation. Easy to use, Espresso is very easy to understand and we can perform operations with very little code. Developers can contribute, as they have good command over Java and Kotin languages and also use Espresso for unit testing.
