- 13. Advanced Android Espresso Do you test? It’s okay if you don’t - historically the tools had not been stellar. But they have gotten much better, and I am going to show you my favorite, instrumentation testing with Espresso. In this talk you will learn: • The basic structure of an Espresso test (Matcher, ViewAction, ViewAssertion) • Combining matchers such as withParent, isAssignableFrom to find your view • onData and RecyclerViewActions to test ListView and RecyclerView • Custom ViewAction and ViewAssertion • Using Dagger and Mockito to write repeatable tests By the end of the talk you will be itching to write some tests yourself! @chiuki
- 14. Evolutionary Algorithms: Perfecting the Art of "Good Enough" Evolutionary algorithms let us tackle all kinds of impossible problems. Want to design a short delivery route, but there are more possible solutions than atoms in the universe? Well, evolutionary algorithms can't promise to find the optimal solution, but can guarantee finding a pretty great one. I'll give an overview of these algorithms, and how you can use them for your own impossible problems. @chiuki
