I wanted to solicit some opinions on what would be ideal tools for the job. I'd like to ideally use as few as possible and as tightly integrated as possible. (I've read about 20 different threads on this and have some experience at work as well)

For any of those, I would favor integrated solutions (so for example if a feature as a native capability of Android Studio, I'd rather use it)

1) testing

GAE backend -- LocalServiceTestHelper testing, regular unit testing
App frontend -- Roboelectric, Robotium, Monkey

2) test coverage -- EMMA??? I think TeamCity comes with that as well. anything else?

3) VCS -- Git/Github

4) issue detection + tracking

GAE backend -- dev console, logging
App frontent-- Crashlytics, debug builds local-log as well

Should I go with the integrated issue tracking in Github, or try JIRA? Crashlytics seems to have integration with both which is good, or is there a different preferred tool by the community?

5) CI

GAE backend -- Jenkins? TeamCity? Perhaps some google solution in dev?
App frontend -- Jenkins? TeamCity?

6) Communicating with your users -- an integrated solution that can update facebook, twitter, google+ and potentially a forum-based community site. Any nifty solutions in that space?
