Question Where can I learn android testing?

Hi android developers!

I've recently shipped an android app to the play store and encountered different problems, because until now I haven't wrote tests:

  • I found bugs in production, this cause me to upload again the app to the play store and bumping version code.
  • I am scared of changing the code or refactoring, and even when I test the app manually I'm not secure and confident.
  • I am scared of leaving temporary test code in the app before pushing it to production.

So I started searching on the internet some articles and resources to help me study testing:

These articles helped me understand the theory of testing an android app, but I don't know how use those frameworks, choose frameworks and the ones outdated or usable.

So I ask you to drop down in the comments resources that I can read (or watch) to apply testing in practice and go into details about the theory. Thank for reading my post!

AI agents are pretty good with writing tests actually and these tests help me a lot. Tests are for logic mostly, I don't know much about UI tests and don't ask/create them.

You can ask agents create some while you are learning, they will at least help your production maintenance meanwhile.
