+Robocop Mochitest
+=================
+
+*Robocop Mochitest* is a Mozilla project which uses Robotium to test
+ Firefox on Android devices.
+
+*Robocop Mochitest* tests run on Native Android builds marked with an
+'rc' on treeherder.  These are Java based tests which run from the mochitest
+harness and generate similar log files.  These are designed for
+testing the native UI of Android devices by sending events to the
+front end.
+
+See the documentation at
+https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/Robocop/WritingTests for
+details.
+
+Development cycle
+-----------------
+
+To deploy the robocop APK to your device and start the robocop test
+suite, use::
+
+    mach robocop
+
+To run a specific test case, such as ``testLoad``::
+
+    mach robocop testLoad
+
+The Java files in ``mobile/android/tests/browser/robocop`` are dependencies of the
+robocop APK built by ``build/mobile/robocop``.  If you modify Java files
+in ``mobile/android/tests/browser/robocop``, you need to rebuild the robocop APK
+with::
+
+    mach build build/mobile/robocop
+
+Changes to ``.html``, ``.css``, ``.sjs``, and ``.js`` files in
+``mobile/android/tests/browser/robocop`` do not require rebuilding the robocop
+APK -- these changes are always 'live', since they are served by the
+mochitest HTTP server and downloaded each test run by your device.
+
+``mach package`` does build and sign a robocop APK, but ``mach
+robocop`` does not use it.  (This signed APK is used to test
+signed releases on the buildbots).
+
+As always, changes to ``mobile/android/base``, ``mobile/android/chrome``,
+``mobile/android/modules``, etc., require::
+
+    mach build mobile/android/base && mach package && mach install
+
+as usual.
