13. Advanced Android Espresso
Do you test? It’s okay if you don’t - historically the tools had not been stellar.
But they have gotten much better, and I am going to show you my favorite,
instrumentation testing with Espresso.
In this talk you will learn:
• The basic structure of an Espresso test (Matcher, ViewAction, ViewAssertion)
• Combining matchers such as withParent, isAssignableFrom to find your view
• onData and RecyclerViewActions to test ListView and RecyclerView
• Custom ViewAction and ViewAssertion
• Using Dagger and Mockito to write repeatable tests
By the end of the talk you will be itching to write some tests yourself!

14. Evolutionary Algorithms: Perfecting
the Art of "Good Enough"
Evolutionary algorithms let us tackle all kinds of
impossible problems. Want to design a short
delivery route, but there are more possible
solutions than atoms in the universe? Well,
evolutionary algorithms can't promise to find the
optimal solution, but can guarantee finding a
pretty great one. I'll give an overview of these
algorithms, and how you can use them for your
own impossible problems.
