This Skill helps you run unit tests, instrumentation tests, and Espresso UI tests for the Canvas Android apps (Student, Teacher, and Parent) directly from the repository root, accelerating quality assurance and ensuring reliable test results.
Student app - ./gradle/gradlew -p apps :student:testQaDebugUnitTest Teacher app - ./gradle/gradlew -p apps :teacher:testQaDebugUnitTest Parent app - ./gradle/gradlew -p apps :parent:testQaDebugUnitTest All apps - ./gradle/gradlew -p apps :student:testQaDebugUnitTest :teacher:testQaDebugUnitTest :parent:testQaDebugUnitTest

Run unit tests using Gradle tasks from the repository root. For the Student app, use `./gradle/gradlew -p apps :student:testQaDebugUnitTest`; for Teacher, use `:teacher:testQaDebugUnitTest`; for Parent, use `:parent:testQaDebugUnitTest`. You can run all three apps' tests in a single command by chaining the tasks.
Yes, instrumentation and Espresso UI tests run on devices or emulators using the `connectedQaDebugAndroidTest` Gradle task. Execute from the repository root with `./gradle/gradlew -p apps :student:connectedQaDebugAndroidTest` (or substitute teacher/parent) to verify UI interactions.
Select the qaDebug build variant before running tests. This variant is required for both unit tests and instrumentation tests across the Student, Teacher, and Parent apps, and must be active when executing Gradle test tasks.
Use the `--tests` flag with Gradle to target specific unit or instrumentation tests. Append `--tests [pattern]` to your Gradle command to filter which tests execute, reducing run time during development and debugging.
Unit tests run locally without a device and verify business logic; instrumentation tests (Espresso) run on an emulator or device and verify UI behavior. Canvas Android provides both via separate Gradle tasks: `testQaDebugUnitTest` for units and `connectedQaDebugAndroidTest` for instrumentation.
Yes, Gradle reports test results to the console and generates detailed reports after execution. Run Gradle test tasks from the repository root and check the output for pass/fail status; detailed reports are written to the build output directory.
