Fork of Fork aiming at better JUnit compatibility and making development of UI tests less complex

Tongs

A kitchen tongs for distributing your candies across all the tasters/testers. It saves your time by running test cases in parallel on multiple devices simultaneously.

Tongs is based on Fork. It distributes execution of test cases across multiple devices making test runs much faster. And it provides valuable reports for them.

Differences from similar tools

• Full support for JUnit parameterized test cases - test case variants are distributed across devices
• Custom instrumentation runner arguments are supported, including filters
• Gradle support, including:
  • Support for split APKs
  • Install APKs with Gradle
• Tongs clears application data before test case execution
• Support for test frameworks other than JUnit 4 assuming their runners are compatible with AndroidJUnitRunner (see [Custom runners])

Running Tongs

Gradle plugin (recommended)

1. Add JitPack repository (this service builds packages directly from GitHub sources) and classpath plugin dependencies

buildscript {
  repositories {
    // other repos ...
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.github.TarCV:tongs:tongs-gradle-plugin:master-SNAPSHOT'
  }
}

2. Apply the plugin

apply plugin: 'com.github.tarcv.tongs'

3. Check tasks added by the plugin

./gradlew tasks | grep tongs

4. Run one of those tasks. For example:

./gradle tongs

Future plans

• Full support for JUnit assumptions
• Plugins
• Device flakiness reports
