We have a lot of types of tests - hopefully we can create a more succinct overview to help new and existing contributors more easily determine what kind of test they really want to write, and how to write it!

Since most of our frontend code is Java, we also have a lot of Java tests:
| Test Type | How to run | Is executed in/on | Comments | Runs in automation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #Robocop Tests | mach robocop | On a device/emulator, with a server on your development machine | Allows testing of the running app. | Yes |
| junit3 | tbc: in your IDE | On a device/emulator | Allows testing of non-UI Android dependent code | ??? |
| Roboelectric / junit4 | tbc: in your IDE | In your IDE / on your machine (purely local) | Allows testing of purely Java code that doesn't rely on Android frameworks. | ??? |
Robocop tests
Test location:
mobile/android/tests/browser/robocop
Resources: ...the various test pages...
TODO: More detailed how to run (i.e. run individual tests), where the tests are located, what resources they can access, how to add a test.
Javascript tests
Mochitests are probably the most interesting for frontend developers.
