"Black box" to me means using the minimum or not at all the APIs of the application, but driving instead the tests emulating user gestures to the UI. The reason for that is that I want to test what my users will see, and everything done outside the black-box approach would break that constraint. This can be done with JUnit and the Android API; the problem is that if you need that tests are run in isolation, e.g. every test starts from scratch, this is not possible from a single adb invocation, because you can't force unloading stuff (of course I could call some of my application methods to force a clean up of the app status, but it wouldn't be black-box). The only resort is multiple invocation of adb, which seems to do the required clean up. - -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
