Testing android applications

I'm new to testing.I've developed a application,now i need to test.I googled about testing for some time,learnt ,what different types of testing are there in general.I wrote few test cases.

Three things,i would like to know,

  1. Is there any different types of testing for android,if yes,can you give me some links which could help me to refer.

  2. How do generally a android user test his apps,Will he uses test frame works or generally write test cases and testing that on real phone to see how they are performing.

  3. Is there any sample test cases written document which will give me some basic idea.

For integration testing I use Robotium. It is a nice convenient layer on top of the build in instrumentation testing. These Tests need to be running in an emulator or on a real device. It is recommended in both cases to have an extra test project (producing an additional APK) that depends on the project under test.

Personally I like to partition my app so I have one or more libraries that do not depend on Android specific classes and can therefore be tested in a regular JVM using JUnit.

There is a third way to test and that is by mocking the android classes and have the tests run in a JVM. I have not yet used it but I hear Roboelectric is a framework that allows for this kind of testing.

Android Monkey tool can be a handy little tool. I find it handy the pseudo random fashion is handy for generating unusual use cases.
