     27 <p>You should be writing and running tests as part of your Android application
     28 development cycle. Well-written tests can help you to catch bugs early in
     29 development and give you confidence in your code.</p>
     30 
     31 <p>A <em>test case</em> defines a set of objects and methods to run multiple
     32 tests independently from each other. Test cases can be organized into
     33 <em>test suites</em> and run programmatically, in a repeatable manner, with
     34 a <em>test runner</em> provided by a testing framework.</p>
     35 
     36 <p>The lessons in this class teaches you how to use the Android's custom
     37 testing framework that is based on the popular JUnit framework. You can
     38 write test cases to verify specific behavior in your application, and check for
     39 consistency across different Android devices. Your test cases also serve as a
     40 form of internal code documentation by describing the expected behavior of
     41 app components.</p>
