Summary

"Espresso for Android Automated Testing""Espresso for Android Automated Testing" is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for software engineers, QA professionals, and Android developers seeking to master the complexities of UI automation on the platform. Beginning with a rich historical context, the book explores automated testing’s evolution within Android, unpacks the testing spectrum from unit through UI layers, and candidly addresses the unique challenges posed by Android’s vast device landscape. With a clear comparative analysis of major frameworks, readers gain a firm foundation for strategically advancing their test automation practices.Diving deeply into Espresso’s architecture, the book skillfully dissects Espresso’s core mechanics—including matchers, actions, assertions, and its sophisticated synchronization model—while providing advanced guidance for crafting custom extensions, managing test orchestration, and architecting robust, maintainable test suites. Through detailed case studies and hands-on techniques, readers learn how to tackle complex UI scenarios such as dynamic RecyclerViews, custom view hierarchies, WebViews, intricate gestures, and the nuances of asynchronous behavior. Best practices for state management, parameterization, diagnostics, and fixture design are thoroughly addressed, empowering teams to deliver flake-resistant and reliable tests at any scale.Beyond technical mastery of Espresso, the book addresses the full software development lifecycle by integrating UI testing into modern CI/CD pipelines, overcoming fragmentation, and leveraging parallelism for scalable execution. Topics including security, privacy, accessibility, localization, and performance testing reflect real-world challenges, while dedicated chapters on test code maintainability, flakiness management, and onboarding new contributors help organizations create a sustainable test automation culture. Concluding with an exploration of emerging trends—such as AI-augmented testing, cross-platform strategies, and continuous quality engineering—this book is an indispensable guide to engineering high-quality, resilient Android apps in an ever-evolving landscape.

    The environmental movement is plagued by pessimism. And that’s not unreasonable: with so many complicated, seemingly intractable problems facing the planet, coupled with a need to convince people of the dangers we face, it’s hard not to focus on the negative But that paints an unbalanced—and overly disheartening—picture of what’s going on with environmental stewardship today. There are success stories, and Our Once and Future Planet delivers a fascinating account of one of the most impressive areas of current environmental experimentation and innovation: ecological restoration. Veteran investigative reporter Paddy Woodworth has spent years traveling the globe and talking with people—scientists, politicians, and ordinary citizens—who are working on the front lines of the battle against environmental degradation. At sites ranging from Mexico to New Zealand and Chicago to Cape Town, Woodworth shows us the striking successes (and a few humbling failures) of groups that are attempting to use cutting-edge science to restore blighted, polluted, and otherwise troubled landscapes to states of ecological health—and, in some of the most controversial cases, to particular moments in historical time, before widespread human intervention. His firsthand field reports and interviews with participants reveal the promise, power, and limitations of restoration. Ecological restoration alone won’t solve the myriad problems facing our environment. But Our Once and Future Planet demonstrates the role it can play, and the hope, inspiration, and new knowledge that can come from saving even one small patch of earth.

    Beneath our feet lies one of the most complex and essential ecosystems on Earth — a living world that sustains every breath we take and every meal we eat. Yet for decades, we’ve treated soil as mere dirt: something to be dug, paved, poisoned, and forgotten. 
In Hope in the Humus, Alex Southwick uncovers the hidden life of the ground below us and the extraordinary potential it holds to heal the planet. Travelling from regenerative farms to city gardens and ancient forests, Southwick meets the scientists, growers, and visionaries restoring vitality to the soil — and, in doing so, rebuilding the foundations of climate stability and human wellbeing. 
Both intimate and expansive, this is a story of renewal — of how, by tending to the smallest organisms in the dark, we might rediscover a deeper relationship with the world above. 
Gentle, wise, and ultimately uplifting, Hope in the Humus reminds us that recovery begins where life itself began: in the soil.
