A New Era of Testing
summary
JUnit 5 is usable on Android now via an Android JUnit5 Gradle plugin and Jupiter libraries (example uses 5.11); unit tests get parameterized features like CSV source parameterized tests and parallel execution that yields a 3x speedup in the demo, while instrumentation tests run on real devices but require API 26+ (older devices skip tests). Robolectric works experimentally through a experimental Robolectric extension but currently breaks Compose and Espresso combos; continue using Vintage for existing JUnit4/Robolectric tests.
