## What it is
Spoon is a tool from Square that distributes Android instrumentation test execution across all connected devices and emulators simultaneously. It generates a static HTML report with per-device and per-test results, including screenshots and attached debug files.

## Use cases
- run android instrumentation tests on multiple devices at once
- generate html test reports for android tests
- capture screenshots during android ui tests
- find device-specific test failures
- attach debug files like logs to android test reports

## When to choose
- you need to run existing instrumentation tests across many physical devices and emulators
- you want visual, screenshot-based comparison of test runs across devices
- you want a static HTML summary of test results for a team display

## When to avoid
- you are not testing Android apps
- you need a modern, actively developed test runner - the project has seen little activity since 2023
- you want cloud device farm testing rather than locally connected devices
