The Android instrumentation-based testing framework focuses on unit
testing and component-level functional testing. It's not meant to be a
full multi-application test system. You can't test an activity and the
content provider it uses in the same test case, nor can you test what
happens when the user goes out of one application to change a global
setting and then returns to the same application.
To get around these limitations, you have to write your own test
system.

Thank you for the comment.
Unfortunately it's not the case since we also want to test interaction
of several applications at a time.
Now we're looking at a possibility to interact between applications and
testcases project via services and service connections.
You can make one test package that is capable of testing several
applications, but it can only test one app at a time. For each new app
you want to test, you have to update AndroidManifest.xml to point to
the new target app, re-build the test package, and re-install it.
What is your use case? Do you have a set of unit tests that you want
to apply to different apps? This is a bit unusual, but conceivable.
You could do this in a shell script. First install all your apps using
adb install, then use sed or awk to modify the
AndroidManifest.xml in the test project, build the test package, use
adb -r to install it, and then adb shell am instrument to run the
test and see the results. The last command is documented in the
Android 2.2 Developer's Guide, under Guide Developing Testing
Testing in Other IDEs.

Hello,
Is it possible to test several Android projects by having only one
test project?
I've tried various ways like specifying several instrumentation tags:
instrumentation android:targetPackage=com.test1.test11
android:name=android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner /
instrumentation android:targetPackage=com.test1.test12
android:name=android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner /
or played with the packages but finally I got only tests for one
application working correctly, tests for the other applications are
giving java.lang.VerifyError.
All of the applications are signed with the same key.
Does anyone know if it is possible?
