This document discusses how to use various Java quality tools to test and improve Android apps. It provides an overview of tools for unit testing, UI testing, code coverage, code quality checks, and continuous integration. It also describes a sample Maven project that demonstrates setting up these tools and running them with different Maven profiles. The project aims to show developers how to easily incorporate maturity practices from Java and leverage these tools to build more robust Android apps.

# clone the repository on GitHub
git clone git@github.com:stephanenicolas/Quality-Tools-for-Android.git
This projects combines many Quality Tools for Android.
It demonstrates how to set up those tools.
It is not intended to be used as a maven archetype.
No project will need all of those technologies,
take only what you need.
All configurations work both in IntelliJ, Eclipse, Maven CLI and
Jenkins.
