description This paper describes the design of a testing environment for massive assessment of assignments for Android application programming courses. Specific testing methods and tool suggestions are continuously consulted with Wirecard company, dedicated to the development of mobile applications. The paper also analyzes the most common mistakes of students and suggests ways to uncover them through tests. Based on these, it creates tests, compares the performance of the emulator and real device tests, and the proposed tools are partially retrospectively tested on assignments from the previous run of a particular Android application programming course. From partial results the paper suggests changes for the course in relation to the testing environment and deploys it in the background of the course alongside the manual evaluation. It describes testing experience, analyzes the results and suggests changes for the future
