Product is rated as #121 in category Android Development

Engineering Maintainable Android Apps, which is a 4 week MOOC that shows by example various methods for engineering maintainable Android apps, including test–driven development methods and how to develop/run unit tests using JUnit and Robotium (or equivalent automated testing frameworks for Android), as well as how to successfully apply common Java/Android software patterns to improve the extensibility and clarity of Android apps. Students will work on the appropriate automated unit quizzes, based on the material covered in the lecture videos. These lessons will demonstrate the benefits of good software engineering practices that are targeted at creating maintainable code for mobile apps. There will be roughly 3–4 hours of student engagement time per week, including video lectures, and quizzes. The ordering of the modules within the course is designed to be flexible. In particular, students can watch the videos in whatever order suits their experience and needs, e.g., they may want to watch the unit testing videos prior to the software pattern videos if they prefer to learn about unit testing first. Vanderbilt University, located in Nashville, Tenn., is a private research university and medical center offering a full–range of undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees.

Instructor Details

Douglas C. Schmidt is a Professor of Computer Science, Associate Chair of the Computer Science and Engineering program, and a Senior Researcher at the Institute for Software Integrated Systems, all at Vanderbilt University. He has also been the Chief Technology Officer for the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where he was responsible for directing the technical vision and strategic R&D investments. Dr. Schmidt has published 10 books and more than 500 technical papers on software-related topics, including patterns, optimization techniques, and empirical analyses of object-oriented frameworks and domain-specific modeling environments that facilitate the development of distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) middleware and mission-critical applications running over data networks and embedded system interconnects. Dr. Schmidt has also led the development of ACE, TAO, and CIAO for the past two decades. These technologies are pattern-oriented DRE middleware frameworks used successfully by thousands of companies and agencies worldwide in many domains, including national defense and security, datacom/telecom, financial services, medical engineering, and massively multiplayer online gaming.

    Good information on unit and Android testing. Also provide some info on security issues. Could do with more hands on assignments and provide URLs to Android testing, security, and debugging/code analysis tools. May be expand to include overview of code analysis tools like lint

    Few content, bad quality, many mistakes in the material, no programming assignments, poor support. Definitely not worth the money.

    I would advise anyone doing this specialization, to take the Java for Android first, then do the Engineering Maintainable Android apps, as its only in the Engineering Maintainable Android apps that there is an optional coursework to create and test a very simple app for the first time. All the other MOOCs optional courseworks start from very complex pre existing app examples. I was able to complete these courseworks but I didnt really understand all the surrounding code that did a lot of important UI stuff, or the JUnit test. Its good to be forced to make a simple app and get used to JUnit from day 1. I did not take this route, but I wish I had.

    This course is excellent to learn, from scratch, how to write Unit and Integration tests, also you’ll learn why, how and when to apply testing and security to your projects. You’ll learn to use JUnit, Mockito and the InstrumentationRegistry.

    it would have been better than this regarding to the material, i think it need some useful written material as well as the recorded ones, walk through are a little bit confusing, best luck

    There is no evaluation in this class in the form of online unit tests, so essentially there is no evaluation of anything reflecting actual insight into the material (multiple choice quizzes don’t). The material covered is general, hand wavy, and elementary to anyone who has been doing software engineering for 10 minutes.

    Great job & course! Getting deeper in core aspects of your App, just a little point : Some credito/week more extra & practical exam about testing, with exercises to complete with all framework you explained. Thanks for your decication.

    Dr White is always a pleasure to learn from. He has presented a large amount of vital information in a relatively short, concise and palatable manner. Looking forward to the next course. m/

    Looks like a mix of two distinct issues like testing and security. Both fundamental themes, but scratched lightly like an introduction. I won’t recommend it to my colleagues, sorry, until a more thought and solid course is developed on both subjects. Unlike my other Coursera courses, I regret to have payed for this one, is less than I can get on YouTube.

    it is very tough course but really interesting to get the detail deeply. To clear the quiz and i need to go through the video’s 40 times line by line to get the concept in detail but still not able to find answers for 100% 🙁

    This MOOC is very good to introduce some development testing and security concerns in Android development. I does not intend to go deep with implementations because its a introductory and basic course. The only complaint that I can do is that I wish there were some written materials of the weeks. It is rather boring to get back to the videos to study, which could be done faster and easier with a 2 page summary of the week.

    The topics that this course covers are testing and security it seems that informing up and coming android developers that these things are important is obligatory in the specialization. It comes off as being quite general and lacks interactivity thankfully that’s probably for the best since it’s kind of dry material. One of the quiz questions is ‘when is it appropriate to ignore these security principles?’ Possible answers are ‘if it improves performance’, ‘if it helps meet a deadline’, or ‘never’. It doesn’t require a lot of thought to get the point of the course. Unfortunately, this section won’t have you using android studio much, but you can’t deny that what Dr White is teaching here is really important.

    Very good course to follow since the areas of security and reliability would not be thought. Therefore we need to understand the essentials carried forward while developing apps more securely. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to follow this. Ashan Sugathadasa
