| 4 | Android includes powerful tools for setting up and running test applications. |
| 5 | Whether you are working in Eclipse with ADT or working from the command line, these tools |
| 6 | help you set up and run your tests within an emulator or the device you are targeting. |
| 7 | The documents listed below explain how to work with the tools in your development environment. |

| 23 | The ADT plugin lets you quickly set up and manage test projects directly in |
| 24 | the Eclipse UI. Once you have written your tests, you can build and run them and |
| 25 | then see the results in the Eclipse JUnit view. You can also use the SDK command-line |
| 26 | tools to execute your tests if needed. |

| 30 | The SDK command-line tools provide the same capabilities as the ADT plugin. You can |
| 31 | use them to set up and manage test projects, build your test application, |
| 32 | run your tests, and see the results. You use |
| 33 | the <code>android</code> tool to create and manage test projects, the Ant build system |
| 34 | to compile them, and the <code>adb</code> tool to install and run them. |
