Avokado project

Hello everyone!

We are announcing the start of open-source collaboration between Avito and Kaspersky Lab – Avokado. The main goal of this project is to develop tools that simplify the life of mobile developers.

We sincerely believe in synergy, and that 1 + 1 can give a total of more than two. We believe that a group of people with a common goal can achieve more than single people. What is worth sharing experience, knowledge and tools, because in return you get more than you give. This is the essence of open-source.


Who are we?

We are a group of engineers with extensive experience in mobile development. We remember the second Android, the appearance of fragments, what Holo looked like and how Material pushed it off the stage. We believe that together we can create useful and effective tools.

What we are ready to offer now

All our actions will be divided into our site. The most interesting sections are “Products” and “Activities”.
Look at the developments that we can already offer the world:

What’s next?

Our priority area is autotests. Over the past couple of years, the community has taken a big step forward in the world of UI tests, but there is still no single picture. Engineers still spend a lot of time setting up tools and auto-testing processes.

Therefore, now the main task of Avokado is to create the very same picture, a product that will allow you to deploy auto-tests in any project in a conditional 15 minutes. All this applies to the product “Autotests”. Our next article will be devoted to them.
