Abstract

Modern smartphone ecosystems have their unique set of constraints which makes testing the contract between client and servers hard. In this paper we will describe the Google+ team's approaches to solving this problem. We will describe our testing philosophy followed by a couple of frameworks and test design patterns that we have found to be really useful in a client-server testing context.
