    Espresso

    Score8 out of 10
    N/AEspresso 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.

    • It is very easy to verify Images with drawable resources
    • Color Verification we can do this by referring to the same hex code as the developer team used so that it is reused.
    • Opening a desired activity without performing End-to-end flow which eventually saves time.
    • If the application is built on Android we can go testing activity with Espresso as it provides all the necessary APIs
    • Espresso is not appropriate to iOS app automation, from a business point of view we need to hire new resources for iOS testing.

    • Notepad++ allows us to keep open files in tabs. Like in a web browser, these tabs let us access these files quickly and easily. Furthermore, even if we forget to save the files when closing the program or shutting down the PC, Notepad++ retains them in the open tabs when we reopen it.
    • Notepad++ supports many different file types. We usually save our files created in Notepad as normal text files, but sometimes as JSON, PHP, and HTML files.
    • Notepad++ is lightweight and requires little resources. Using it is snappy and responsive.
    • The developer of Notepad++ frequently updates the software with bug fixes, performance improvements and new features.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • As Espresso works on the ideal thread if the threads are not handled properly by the developing team it can lead to challenges in the execution of your tests.
    • Depends more on the developer's code
    • 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

    • UI looks a bit dated.
    • Sometimes the number of options are overwhelming and require a quick search to figure out where to locate a particular function.
    • Some way to do a diff between files would be great. Still need to resort to another paid app for that - unless it is a buried function I don't know about or there's a plugin for it.

    There are lot of features to talk about. Especially the usability is good. Everyone can easily to use and user-friendly. Can also update easily. Can also write and execute the programming languages like C, C++ etc. Encoding is also the major feature that helps me a lot and converter as well.

    I haven't needed to utilize any support related to Notepad++. I guess this is a good thing because I found it to be quite intuitive. There are almost infinite features you can tweak and plugins you can download but I haven't had to do that because Notepad++ is really good right out of the box.

    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.

    Notepad for Windows, Microsoft Word...LibreOffice Writer....I have used all of these for code writing and editing. Once again I like the universal feel of Notepad++. Basic Notepad, is just that, basic...and kind of clunky for what it is. This is a cool that I have installed on all my computers and also keep it on a thumb drive if I need it elsewhere.

    • As it is an Open Source tool it cost-effective
    • East to use, so that you can train many new Joiners to start delivering the tasks
    • Maintainance is very low, as we depend on the developer's layout files we can reuse their elements
    • We can cover most of the scenarios which helps in the coverage of the tests

    • Productivity has increased for developers.
    • It's free so instead of buying a piece of software, you can use this to replace many of them that may only specialize in one thing.
    • It gives our developers confidence knowing they have such a reliable, free tool at their disposal.
