The second type is UI tests for multiple apps. UI testing frameworks like Espresso allow you to programmatically simulate user actions and to test complex, intra-app user interactions. It allows you to check that the target app returned the correct UI output and response to user interactions in the app's activities. UI tests for a single app verify that the target app behaves as expected when a user performs a specific action or stops an activity. We have two types of Android automated UI tests. It can also force a test to wait until all observer background activities have finished, which is sometimes a problem with other testing frameworks. The framework also ensures that your activity is started before the test runs.


One of the important features in Espresso is that it automatically synchronizes your test actions with the user interface of your application. Google released the Espresso framework in October 2013 and, as of release version 2.0, Espresso is part of the Android Support Repository.
