Frictionless Android testing: Write once, run everywhere (Google I/O '18)

There are many testing tools available for Android, and selecting the right tool can be confusing. This session will showcase the Android Testing Support Library (ATSL) — a new set of testing APIs that allow developers to write tests of all sizes across different execution environments. These new APIs will make testing easy, reducing the cognitive load for developers and keeping them in the zone while rapidly iterating.

Using such a generic name "Android Test" for a chronic problem's supposed solution does not help to locate it through Google . Could some one please put a direct link to this "Android Test" library /presence !

Where's the Documentation for this? The documentation provided in the slide doesn't contain these new information.

The nitrogen framework looks like Appium. Am I right? I'm very curious to use it on my android code.

Hi Google Developers, Why confusing developers again with lot of frameworks? Espresso, AndroidX, RoboElectric, Mockito..keep on going...Why cant Google developers move all these things under a single framework and write testing simple? There is no proper documentation for how to test Views, how to write test for ViewModel, how to write test for LiveData? Saying AndroidX test, but still that also doing same...No use...
