Ristretto

Espresso's consistency makes it really easy to learn.

Want to match a view with a specific id? Use withId(R.id.some_id). Need to match with a piece of text? Use withText(R.id.some_text) or withText("some text). Awesome, consistent and it's very clear what it is you are doing.

However...

After a few hours writing test code you'll find your code being a little bit too verbose. Not anymore.

Why should you need to explicitly specify that you are matching with some text if you are passing in some text as a parameter? Some for the view id, you can already see that it is a view id.

Ristretto allows you to write the same test code as you already write, but less verbose.
