How Jetpack Compose Is Reshaping UI Testing

Jetpack Compose has changed not only how Android UIs are built, but also how they are tested. Instead of relying on fragile view hierarchies and manual synchronization, Compose UI testing is built around semantics, state, and user-visible behavior.

This approach makes UI tests:

  • More resilient to UI refactors
  • Easier to reason about and maintain
  • Better aligned with accessibility and real user interactions

In the full article, I cover:

  • How semantics-driven testing works in Jetpack Compose
  • Practical UI testing recipes for real-world apps
  • Deterministic waiting, accessibility checks, and migration scenarios
  • Current, non-deprecated testing APIs and recommended patterns

For the complete walkthrough with code examples and architectural guidance, read the full article on Medium:
