I want to create a couple of functional tests for an Android application to run them on a continuous integration server. As far as I understand, there are two main approaches: monkeyrunner and test cases via instrumentation.
At the moment, I can’t see any advantages of monkeyrunner, but I might be missing something. What is it good for?
I like to use MonkeyRunner because its really portable (Linux, Mac and Windows), easy to setup and can work easily across many different devices and emulators. Also, sometimes with instrumentation you get crashes that are unrelated to the app, but are rather because of the instrumentation implementation. With MonkeyRunner you will know what caused the crash.
