Introduction to Selendroid (Android Testing Tool)

Selendroid is a test automation framework for Android native, hybrid application, and the Android-based mobile web as well. Selendroid can automate native and hybrid apps and the mobile web. When a Selendroid test session is started, the native mode is activated by default. Selendroid proves to be first in the race when it comes to testing for Android-based apps. Selendroid is assumed to be a good option if you’re thinking of developing only Android apps. Its main selling point is its backward compatibility that supports Android API 10 through API 19.

Selendroids are built by Inspector to simplify test case development. This is a tool for automated testing of the Android-based products which was revealed on the basis of the instrumental Android framework. The tests, created via Selendroid, are based on the client API Selenium WebDriver. Selendroid comes with a useful little tool called Selendroid Inspector.

Selendroid contains an Inspector tool which can inspect User Interface elements of the app being tested. You can also find UI elements in Appium. The main advantage of Selendroid over Appium is that Selendroid is that it can also find UI elements for older Android versions. Selendroid has the full compatibility with the JSON Wire Protocol.
