Re: [android-developers] How to Verifying Correctness of App in Eclipse

So the obvious question that comes to mind is: why do you need to do
this within Eclipse, rather than using an Android testing framework.
Are you talking about whether or not the user *physically* created the
code, rather than testing it actually worked?

I would give a word of warning against trying to do things that
require parsing with Eclipse: it would be a huge amount of work to do
this, it's much larger than an extension to the ADT. (And, working
with Eclipse's representation of java code is rather horrible.)
