About the Course

Engineering Maintainable Android Apps, which is a 4 week MOOC that shows by example various methods for engineering maintainable Android apps, including test-driven development methods and how to develop/run unit tests using JUnit and Robotium (or equivalent automated testing frameworks for Android), as well as how to successfully apply common Java/Android software patterns to improve the extensibility and clarity of Android apps. Students will work on the appropriate automated unit quizzes, based on the material covered in the lecture videos. These lessons will demonstrate the benefits of good software engineering practices that are targeted at creating maintainable code for mobile apps. There will be roughly 3-4 hours of student engagement time per week, including video lectures, and quizzes. The ordering of the modules within the course is designed to be flexible. In particular, students can watch the videos in whatever order suits their experience and needs, e.g., they may want to watch the unit testing videos prior to the software pattern videos if they prefer to learn about unit testing first....

Dr White is always a pleasure to learn from. He has presented a large amount of vital information in a relatively short, concise and palatable manner. Looking forward to the next course. \m/

The idea behind all the pop ups requesting for access is now clear. I wish there were more practice in the assignments. But, generally, the course is very insightful and the lecturer is clear enough. The explanations and the illustrations are simple to follow and to understand.

Good information on unit and Android testing.

Also provide some info on security issues.

Could do with more hands-on assignments and provide URLs to Android testing, security, and debugging/code analysis tools. May be expand to include overview of code analysis tools like lint

Great course to understand basic concepts about testing and also security in Android apps. The course is perfectly explained and the methodology to show the content is simply brilliant.

I'd have loved to see further content and more examples but I really liked this course.

Great job & course! Getting deeper in core aspects of your App, just a little point : - Some credito/week more extra & practical exam about testing, with exercises to complete with all framework you explained.

Thanks for your decication.

Nice course, great explanation of non-obvious potential flaws (essentially security flaws which might be not evident even for an experienced Android developer). Quite long lectures on other obvious topics though

Helped me understand the security features of android. The examples were explained very well. Testing was covered to a good extent in this course.

Concepts were taught exceptionally with god examples, but more help is needed for completing all the quiz
