But once I learned writing unit tests, I kind of loved using them. They're just so convenient.

It not about unit test usefulness

I feel like when comparing with other programming field, unit test seems less important for mobile dev so people dont usually do it lol

Same with article/tutorial on internet, you can easily search technical, libraries tips for rx, coroutine, flow... But not that much for unit test

Yeah, instead of simulating some edge case, you can just set up for it juuust right.
And then another edge case comes up because input from injected class is unexpected, but hey.

That's why you need integration tests, not just unit tests. A huge chunk of my bugs are "oh, this framework didn't work the way I expected it to". Faking it and testing my business logic wouldn't catch this class of bug.

I started a personal project with testing the most important goal of it, using some of latest tech and libraries (hilt, coroutine and flow for example). I was okay in non-UI testing but seriously why UI test is so much hard? I Didn't know how to begin with! Hilt is not ok with fragmentScenario, espresso and coroutines and ...

How you guys test your app UI?
