Unlocking New Testing Capabilities with Espresso Driver

Intermediate
Android's Espresso framework was created as a "gray-box" testing framework, "gray-box" meaning that it's an automated UI testing framework ("black-box") but it has access to the internals of the application ("white-box"). Allowing access to the internals of the application-under-test opens up many new testing possibilities that weren't possible with UiAutomator2 (with some risks).
Here are the four new possibilities I would like to discuss (with coding examples)
- Access to internal app code
- Less flakiness thanks to "IdlingResource". No need for 'waits' and 'delays' for UI.
- Navigate WebViews using Espresso WebAtoms (this feature is in progress, will be ready well before June)
- Find elements off-screen using Espresso's DataMatchers (this feature is in progress, will be ready well before June)
