adb
Also called: Android Debug Bridge
Android Debug Bridge: a command-line tool for installing apps, reading logs and controlling Android devices.
Definition
adb talks to a connected Android device or emulator. Testers use it to install builds, take screenshots and recordings, read logcat, clear app data and simulate events, all from the computer.
In practice
adb install app-debug.apk installs a test build, and adb shell pm clear com.shop.app resets the app to a fresh install state.
