Benchmarking Android applications in CI/CD pipelines
Blog post from CircleCI
In a detailed guide, the text outlines the integration of the new Android Jetpack Macrobenchmark library into a CI/CD pipeline to enhance app performance testing. It emphasizes the importance of smooth app interactions and introduces the Macrobenchmark library, which tests performance in areas like app startup and scroll jank. The tutorial provides a step-by-step process for setting up the library, writing and executing macrobenchmark tests, and evaluating the results using a Node.js script to ensure performance benchmarks are not exceeded. It also details the use of Firebase Test Lab for reliable performance measurements on real devices and describes a comprehensive CircleCI workflow that combines unit tests, UI tests, instrumentation tests, and benchmarks to ensure app quality before release. The setup includes creating Google Cloud service accounts for Firebase Test Lab and storing benchmark results in Cloud Storage, with an emphasis on automating the process through CircleCI to prevent performance regressions from affecting users.
