Testing Worker implementations

Testing your Worker implementation is crucial, as it helps ensure your code is well handled and your team follows the proper guidelines for writing great code. This will be an integration test, which means we will add our code to the androidTest folder. This recipe will look into how to add tests for your worker.

Getting ready

To follow along with this recipe, you need to have completed all previous recipes of this chapter.
