Recently I have encounter great debug bridge for Android, namely [Facebook Stetho][1].
Particularly its feature to create a custom plugins for dumpapp script is very nice. Tester is able to poll the application for its internals. This can be very handy in situations when the correct state does not result in the change of the UI (change on server, …), or it is otherwise difficult to retrieve this state. It is even possible to update the state of the app.
Would be there any interest in integrating this to Appium project ?
IMHO it would be awesome create API in Appium to easily access this tool from functional tests.
What do you think ?
