Cross-posted from the Android Developers Google+ Page Earlier this year, we presented Espresso at GTAC as a solution to the UI testing problem. Today we are announcing the launch of the developer preview for Espresso! The compelling thing about developing Espresso was making it easy and fun for developers to write reliable UI tests. Espresso has a small, predictable, and easy to learn API, which is still open for customization. But most importantly - Espresso removes the need to think about the complexity of multi-threaded testing. With Espresso, you can think procedurally and write concise, beautiful, and reliable Android UI tests quickly. Espresso is now being used by over 30 applications within Google (Drive, Maps and G+, just to name a few). Starting from today, Espresso will also be available to our great developer community. We hope you will also enjoy testing your applications with Espresso and looking forward to your feedback and contributions!
Togging system settings is outside the scope of Espresso. Internally, we have a utility that tests can call into for setting up such state. We will be looking into open sourcing this in the future.
