    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.

    N/ALondon-based Pusher supports mobile application development with pub/sub messaging and "presence channel" which supports discovery of live users of applications as well as messaging or chat room capabilities to applications, and finally location services as well (e.g. geolocation).

    • 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.

    Pusher
    As I told you earlier, if you just want to send regular push notifications to the app users, then Pusher shall not be your first choice. However, if you wish to make the app a little more interactive by making live changes in the app using Pusher and sending your user's real-time notifications, then you should definitely try it.

    Pusher
    • Pusher allows live changes in the UI using push requests. We can also integrate it with the PHP source code.
    • They offer 99.99% uptime, so we can trust on their services.
    • Pusher works well along with the Flutter codebase, so we do not have to modify it much to work on cross-platforms.

    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

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • 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

    • We had over ten thousand customer orders go through over the course of a year with no problems with this API
    • There was very minimal support for this API which allowed us to focus on other priorities.
