I've been adding more automation to my dev workflow lately. I started with adding unit tests to my android VMGR app, then set up continuous integration (my git setup has support built in, it was just interesting getting it to work with android), and now I just got a cool tool called OpenSTF (Open Smartphone Test Farm) that lets you remotely manage multiple devices from a web page.
It's incredibly cool to see it all working, and should help with efficiency.
My next tricks will be to get the CI flow to deploy the app via openstf, and run integration/ui tests directly on the devices.
What's nice about the CI software, is it isn't tied to android work. Its a part of the gitlab software I use to host my private Git repositories. It's very general and lets you setup custom runners to do the building and testing.
Very kewl Tom.
