Questions tagged [robolectric]

Robolectric is a unit testing framework that allows Android applications to be tested on the JVM in seconds without using an emulator or device.

Robolectric allows to run Android tests inside the JVM on your workstation. Running tests on an Android emulator or device is often slow. Building, deploying, and launching the app often takes a minute or more.

Robolectric is open sourced under MIT license.
