Is it safe to have password in Espresso tests? (Android)

Issue

There is an Android app with Espresso tests.

The whole app requires me to login to Firebase first, so the Espresso tests log in with a valid email/password.

I guess the code for the Espresso tests (/project/app/scr/androidTest/) is not included in the release package (app-release.apk), so it should be fairly safe to leave the actual email/password in the code for the test.

Is this correct?

Solution

Yes correct. Code from flavors are not bundled on different builds than its own.
