It’s hard to overestimate how difficult software development has become in recent years. The web and mobile application market is more competitive than it has ever been. Given the low unemployment rate among IT professionals, hiring and maintaining high-quality software developers and engineers appears to be nearly impossible.
To alleviate the obstacles that enterprises confront with digital transformation, the industry is turning to citizen coders. Using sophisticated low-code application platforms, citizen developers are creating products and workflows that deliver corporate value (LCAPs). However, these tools and routines must still be put to the test. Citizen coders do not have time to manually test and will not create standard automated testing suites.

In order to provide the best experience to your app users it’s a great idea to check the memory usage of your app.
ADB (Android Debug Bridge) provides an easy way to fetch a memory usage profile. You can execute ‘adb shell dumpsys meminfo’ to get the whole dump.
But what if you want to automatically check the memory consumption for every new release of your app? And what if you want to check the memory consumption at several places within your use cases?
I guess you’d rather automate the checks.

Robotium and Espresso both use Android Instrumentation to inspect and interact with the Android apps under test.
The Robotium community made a sophisticated effort to create an Android test automation framework that has full support for native and hybrid applications. It makes it easy to write automatic black-box UI tests for Android applications. With the support of Robotium, test case developers can write function, system, and user acceptance test scenarios, spanning multiple Android activities.
However, there are some things to keep in mind if you decide on one or the other.
