title: Testing, Issue Tracking, Continuous Integration -- recommended standard tooling for GAE and Android apps
body: <p>I wanted to solicit some opinions on what would be ideal tools for the job. I'd like to ideally use as few as possible and as tightly integrated as possible. (I've read about 20 different threads on this and have some experience at work as well)</p>
  
  <p>For any of those, I would favor integrated solutions (so for example if a feature as a native capability of Android Studio, I'd rather use it)</p>
  
  <p>1) testing</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>GAE backend -- LocalServiceTestHelper testing, regular unit testing</li>
  <li>App frontend -- Roboelectric, Robotium, Monkey</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>2) test coverage -- EMMA??? I think TeamCity comes with that as well. anything else?</p>
  
  <p>3) VCS -- Git/Github</p>
  
  <p>4) issue detection + tracking</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>GAE backend -- dev console, logging</li>
  <li>App frontent-- Crashlytics, debug builds local-log as well</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Should I go with the integrated issue tracking in Github, or try JIRA? Crashlytics seems to have integration with both which is good, or is there a different preferred tool by the community?</p>
  
  <p>5) CI</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>GAE backend -- Jenkins? TeamCity? Perhaps some google solution in dev? </li>
  <li>App frontend -- Jenkins? TeamCity? </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>6) Communicating with your users -- an integrated solution that can update facebook, twitter, google+ and potentially a forum-based community site. Any nifty solutions in that space?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks very much.</p>
