Workflows/Compound Action

Workflow(Compound Action) is nothing but a collection of actions, in the code we are using Compound to represent a workflow. Technically workflow is equivalent to compound action, workflow usually reference to the E2E test workflow.

Tip: Compound Action can also include Compound Actions.

XMLDumper

When we are using UIConductor, there will be service running in the backend to fetch the Layout XML. See more details about the layout XML tree. https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/layout-inspector.html
