From Git Push, to Play store — A DevOps journey for Android

Everyone at ezhome Android Engineering team is pretty happy these days, and for good reason! With a final sprint, we were able to achieve a fully enabled Continuous Delivery process.

We don’t have to go too far into the past to understand that Continuous Delivery hasn’t always been a very widespread practice for mobile apps. At least for Android, the principles of testing, code quality, and automation often weren’t promoted at all–yet all of these principles are essential for maintaining a high level of quality for our mobile software.

Things have changed over the past few years, and in a really awesome way. After all, startups need to deliver software updates faster than ever to get feedback and minimize the risk of negatively affecting their users, who provide money and revenue. We also can’t ignore Google’s increased promotion of testing different kind of tools and Test labs. All of this has made continuous delivery more important than ever, which makes the recent accomplishments by our Android Engineering team that much more exciting.
