Engineering Maintainable Android Apps

Description

Engineering Maintainable Android Apps is a MOOC that demonstrates various methods for engineering maintainable Android apps, such as test-driven development methods and how to develop/run unit tests with JUnit and Robotium, as well as how to successfully apply common Java/Android software patterns to improve the extensibility and clarity of Android apps. Students will work on the appropriate automated unit quizzes based on the lecture videos' content. These lessons will demonstrate the advantages of good software engineering practises for writing maintainable code for mobile apps.
