| Abstract | Many computer science educators have adopted test-driven development practices in their introductory computer science courses, as a way of encouraging incremental development and decreasing defects in student code. This practice is straightforward for basic data-driven objects, but making unit testing of GUI applications approachable for students poses a larger challenge. We have previously addressed this problem for Swing applications by developing LIFT, a library that allows students to easily write JUnit tests for Swing interfaces. Since then, we have transitioned away from Swing to Android as the development platform in CS2 to better motivate and excite our students about their assignments. To fully support this change, we had to ensure that our students could fully test the GUI portions of their solutions on that platform as well. The Android operating system has significant built-in support for GUI testing, but the standard API is too complex for students to use. In order to address this, we developed RoboLIFT, a framework that eases the task of writing concise and complete unit tests for Android applications. Furthermore, RoboLIFT also has support for automated grading on the Web-CAT automated assessment system, so even if instructors do not require their students to follow test-driven development practices, they can still enjoy the benefits of automated grading by writing correctness tests that use RoboLIFT to exercise the students' graphical user interfaces. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
