The enhancements focus on three areas: speed, smarts, and platform support, said Google's Stephanie Saad Cuthbertson, Android director of product management.
A feature called Espresso test recording makes it easier to conduct tests, automatically churning out code for tests as if the developers had written it themselves. If, for example, an application opens up Google Drive, creates a document, and shares text with someone, "Android Studio will generate the code that exactly mimics those actions," said Cuthbertson.
