Do I need the source code of an Android application to write autotests for it?

Question

Android

+ Please tell me what tools to use for a beginner android autotester :)

Answer 1

The source code is not needed, but you need to know the class structure, public methods, and the logic of work. Otherwise, what to test? Sometimes autotests are written before the source code is available, after which code is created that will satisfy these tests. It's called TDD.
And the tools used are the same as in development. android studio.
