Discussion about tests

Hey @hieuwu!

Just a few questions about the sample use case test

• Instead of mocking the repository should we create a fake?
• Instead of using runBlocking should we use runTest? More info here
• Should we consider using turbine to test flows?

• In terms of mocking repository, I thought about creating a fake before as official document from Android team states. However, it seems unecessary. If we create a fake for each repository, we have to implement a mock version (fake) for it and there is no way to make sure the implementation of the mock is the same with tested one. It’s quite hard to review and ensure the result of the repository
• Yes. Use runTest is better.
• Haven’t try it yet. Could you please share more about it?
