2.AVD Manager


This is a fantastic feature of Android Studio that allows developers to test their app on a virtual device to make sure everything works properly. There is the ability to customize pretty much every aspect of the device including instruction set, ram size, screen size and resolution. Performance is pretty decent, although you can tell it is a virtual machine. There is one way to improve performance however, Google worked with Intel to release a “fast virt mode” using Intel’s Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) to speed up the performance of the virtual device


3.Android Device Monitor


This is a very interesting feature included with Android Studio. The Android Device Manager allows the developer to monitor their device while it is plugged into the computer or to monitor a virtual device. This includes how many processes are running and on what thread, network stats and the ability to look at the LogCat. There is also a file explorer which is useful if your app writes data to the device. This program is essentially a supercharged LogCat.

2. Genymotion
