Because of this, we might see different test results, such as tests passing using one runner and failing on another. In previous versions of Android Studio, if we ran tests from Android Studio we used the IntelliJ Android instrumented test runner but if we ran from the command line or via the continuous integration (CI) we used the Android Gradle plugin. These features are in addition to those launched in Android Studio Arctic Fox. Android Studio Bumblebee introduces several new features and improvements to help them to run their automated instrumentation tests and see useful results that can be used to debug issues.

Testing tools become very important for all Android engineers to test their apps rapidly and continuously. There is also a Canary Bumblebee version available to download and this is the version that we will be talking about in this article.

After the announcement, Google released different versions: the latest one is Beta 5 beside the stable version.

For the most part, the idea is to bring more of the tooling around the building and testing of Android apps directly into the IDE. At its I/O developer conference, Google announced the first beta of the next version of its Android Studio IDE, Arctic Fox.
