Github Action for Unit Testing (Android-exempel)

GitHub Actions make it easy to automate all your software workflows, now with world-class CI/CD. Build, test, and deploy your code right from GitHub. Make code reviews, branch management, and issue triaging work the way you want.

Here we will discuss How to integrate Github Action for Unit Testing and the benefits of using this action.
Unit tests are the fundamental tests in your app testing strategy. By creating and running unit tests against your code, you can easily verify that the logic of individual units is correct. Running unit tests after every build help you to quickly catch and fix software regressions introduced by code changes to your app.
What if we are only able to merge our PR if all the Unit Test cases are passes.
In this situation, Github Action can help.

We will add one awesome in our Repository and see the magic.
I hope you know how to add Github Action in your repository if not, no worry

runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
- name: set up JDK 1.8
uses: actions/setup-java@v1
with:
java-version: 1.8
# Execute unit tests
- name: Unit Test
run: ./gradlew testDebugUnitTest
- name: Android Test Report
uses: asadmansr/android-test-report-action@v1.2.0
if: ${{ always() }} # IMPORTANT: run Android Test Report regardless

Now please create the PR and see the magic, highlighted one is our Github Action for the Unit test, it will not let you merge the PR until all the test cases will get a pass:
