Question

Short question for those folks out there.

If I am starting from scratch, how exactly do I add TestNG unit tests to my existing Android project along with running them?

I’m also using IntelliJ (I know not Maven Android) to run the tests.

Thanks

You can use testNG to run any kind of test cases you want.

You can just create a test package, and then a test class to start writing your tests.
Suppose that your class is called AndroidTests.java, you need to import testng and start writting your tests, just like this:

@Test   
public void test1() {       
 //Test logic here
 assert someAssert; 
}

Then, when you have enough test cases, you need to create your suite:

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >

<suite name="My smoke suite" verbose="1" >
  <test name="My android tests">
    <classes>
      <class name="test.android.Androidtests"/>
    </classes>
  </test>
</suite> 

And finally run this suite from eclipse or using command line.

Please refer to more info in testNG doc:

And also take a look to Android test documentation:
