Firebase Test Lab for Android Robo Test

Image
Just trying out this awesome test tool called robo on the firebase console, robo automatically explores your app on a wide array of devices to find defects and report any crashes that occur, Robo test doesnot require you to write tests, according to the documentation found on the site robo is described as thus " Robo test   is a test tool that is integrated with Firebase Test Lab for Android. Robo test analyzes the structure of your app's UI and then explores it methodically, automatically simulating user activities. Unlike the   UI/Application Exerciser Monkey test , Robo test always simulates the same user activities in the same order when you use it to test an app on a specific device configuration with the same maximum depth and timeout settings. This lets you use Robo test to validate bug fixes and test for regressions in a way that isn't possible when testing with the   UI/Application Exerciser Monkey test . Robo test captures log files, saves a series of annota...

Application Development in Java and C#

Image
Brief similarity  Both C# and Java Are Object-Oriented Languages Both C# and Java are designed from the ground up as object-oriented languages using dynamic dispatch, with syntax similar to C++ (C++ in turn derives from C). Neither language is a superset of C or C++, however, any class in either language implicitly (or explicitly) subclasses an object. This is a very nice idea, because it provides a default base class for any user-defined or built-in class.  Covariance and contravariance Covariance and contra variance is supported by both languages. Java has use-site variance that allows a single generic class to declare members using both co- and contravariance. C# has define-site variance for generic interfaces and delegates. Variance is not supported directly on classes but is supported through their implementation of variant interfaces. C# also has use-site covariance support for methods and delegates.  Garbage Collection  Garbage collection which ...

C# and Java Language History and Evolution

Image
This post will describe C# and Java language history and evolution  C#  Microsoft earlier implemented a modified version of Java, which was called J++ and a modified version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). In 1997, Sun Microsystems sued Microsoft, stating that Microsoft added new features in a manner that contravened Sun's standards and conventions for Java platform neutrality, and which features therefore violated the license agreement between Microsoft and Sun. The suit was settled in 2001: Microsoft agreed to pay Sun $20 million and gradually phase out the Microsoft JRE over seven years.  At time of the settlement Microsoft had already revealed the first version of C# which was based on .NET as opposed to the JRE. While developing C#, Anders Hejlsberg's team at Microsoft studied a number of existing languages including C++, Java, Modula-2, C and Smalltalk. The most notable differences was the C# support for delegates and events, metadata attri...
