Testing and Implementations

Current status (Linux)

There are not many unit tests defined for the Linux implementation right now.
Testing is currently conducted manually.
A branch named linux-core-impl contains a minimal Linux implementation with almost 100% test coverage for that minimal scope.
The plan is to merge the minimal implementation and the main Linux work in the future.

These examples are used for manual testing and as reference implementations:

connections/file_share: file sharing app used to test connectivity and bandwidth upgrade paths between Linux and Linux.
connections/walkietalkie: works in tandem with Google's Android Walkie Talkie MANUAL app in https://github.com/android/connectivity-samples.
sharing/linux/nearby_sharing_app: minimal implementation of Nearby Sharing (aka Quick Share) for Linux.
nearby-connections-android: Android test app that exposes all options in the current Nearby Sharing API; used as ground-truth debugging reference. You can grab the latest release over here https://github.com/kidfromjupiter/nearby-connections-android.
