4 Release Process Current Situation 4

5 Release Process Current Situation 5

6 Release Process the future Everything you have to do afterwards is git push 6

7 Release Process the future 7

8 Build Automation What will we be using jenkins Test Driven Development Git Beta Distribution Gradle Nightly Versions 8

9 Build Automation Benefits New Features are Live ASAP As Soon As Pushed Only Stable and Tested Builds can be Pushed No more unstable Releases Less Human Testing No more Sharing of Sensitive Data Keystores Logins 9

10 Build Automation Jenkins Jenkins is an award-winning application that monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as buildin Building/testing software projects continuously Monitoring executions of externally-run jobs Get Jenkins at: 10

11 Build Automation Build Pipeline Sample Build Pipeline: compile lint Tests sonar distribute monkey runner 11

12 Build Automation Build Pipeline Distribution will only Happen if all Previous Steps Succeed Tests, Code Analysis, etc. can Run Parallel Step by Step enables Failing Fast Resource Hungry Jobs like Monkey Runner will be triggered only if needed 12

13 Jenkins Usefull Tipps Clone Workspace SCM Plugin Shared Workspaces may have locks Polling Sucks use Git Hooks! Do not run on a Small Virtual Machine Android Emulator needs some Hardware Intel HAX strongly Recommended! 13

14 Jenkins Build Monitor Plugin 14

15 Jenkins Build Pipeline View Plugin 15

16 Jenkins Monitoring Plugins 16

17 Build Automation gradle Best of ANT / Maven / GANT / Ivy Based on Groovy Scripts Expressive DSL (Flexible) Convention over Configuration Easy to extend Make the impossible possible, make the possible easy and make the easy elegant. 17

18 gradle flavoring Staging, Dev and Live Packages On Your Test Device no Constant Uninstalling Adjustable Configurations without Code Changes Why? Reproduce able builds, easy setup 18

19 gradle sample Code 19

20 gradle sample Code Project Setup Flavoring Same Folder Structure for every Flavor Flavor Specific files Overwrite Files from Main Only Overwrite What your Flavor Needs Flavor Only Files Possible 20

21 gradle sample Code Example Flavor Specific Manifest Only Provider defined Everything else comes from main/androidmanifest.xml 21

22 Build Automation git Branching Opensource Integrated and Extended Implementations 22

23 Git Git Workflow Git Flow Branching Model source: 23

24 Jenkins Git Flow and Jenkins Examples Staging Hook on develop Branch Nightly Time Based Build (eg once a day at 0 AM) builds newest feature Branch Live Only Builds release Tags Release Notes are Tag Message 24

25 Beta Test Distribution 25

26 Beta Test Distribution Examples Google Play Alpha / Channel Works on every Device that has The Playstore Crashlytics Distribution Groups & User Level gradle Integration free HokeyApp Comercial 26

27 Unit Testing WHY? Testing - Do it 27

28 Unit Testing WHY? 28

29 Unit Testing WHY? Code Quality Matters! Insurance everything still works As it should be working Refactoring made easy Unittests are somehow a Functional Documentation 29

30 Unit Testing Some Tipps: Tests first! Simplest and dumbest way to implement Test Orientation Changes Test State Changes Lock Screen Incoming calls etc. Check Code Coverage 30

31 Test Frameworks Unittests Robolectric No Emulator Needed No Mocking Frameworks Needed API Level Emulation only up to 18 (currently) Robotium Silenium for Android User Scenarios Default Android Testing Framework 31

32 Test Frameworks UI Testing Espresso Ui Testing Double Espresso Espresso Gradle Port Ui Automator Android Default UI Testing Framework 32

33 Mocking 33

34 Test Frameworks Device Testing Distributing instrumentation tests 34

35 Test Frameworks Device Testing 35

36 Test Frameworks Device Testing 36

37 Test Frameworks Device Testing 37

38 Build Automation Measure Code Quality Measure Code Quality over Time Duplicated code Coding standards Unit tests Complex code Potential bugs Comments Design and architecture 38

39 Test Frameworks Code Coverage 39

40 Test Frameworks Code Coverage 40

41 Build Automation Static Code Analysis 41

42 Build Automation Static Code Analysis Testing your Application makes your life more Stress free Code Quality Less Production Crashes Don t develop Stuff that should not go live Use Gradle Flavors! 42

43 Build Automation Final Thoughts Testing your Application makes your life more Stress free Code Quality Less Production Crashes Don t develop Stuff that should not go live DONE = RELEASED Use Gradle Flavors! 43

44 Release Process the future 44
