Robotium is an open source testing framework for Android applications. It makes it easy to write complex black-box test cases. Test driven development is a methology where tests are written before the actual application.

  1. Write a testcase

  2. Watch it failing

  3. Write the actual source code in you application which enables the test to pass

  4. Watch the test passing
