What AndroidX Test is

AndroidX Test is a set of libraries for testing Android apps. Its APIs cover building and running JUnit 4 tests and functional UI tests. Tests written with them run from Android Studio or from the command line. The repository hosts the annotation, core, Espresso, ext junit, orchestrator, runner, rules and services Maven artifacts. UI Automator is hosted separately in AOSP. The same repository also provides Bazel support for android_instrumentation_test. Bazel projects depend on it through an http_archive rule in the WORKSPACE file.
