## What it is
Shot is a Gradle plugin and Android library for writing and running screenshot tests on Android apps, supporting both regular views and Jetpack Compose. It provides a ScreenshotTest interface, a custom test runner, and Gradle tasks to record and verify screenshots with visual reports.

## Use cases
- run screenshot tests for android apps
- visual regression testing for jetpack compose ui
- compare activity screenshots in instrumentation tests
- record and verify ui snapshots on ci
- detect unintended ui rendering changes in android

## When to choose
- you need screenshot/visual regression testing for Android views or Compose
- you want simple Gradle-integrated record/verify workflow with HTML reports
- you run UI tests on emulators or CI and need rendering-diff detection

## When to avoid
- you need screenshot testing on iOS or non-Android platforms
- you only need unit tests without UI snapshot comparison
- your project doesn't use Gradle or Android instrumentation tests

## Facets
- artifact type: library
