# Use Espresso for UI Testing

`AccessCheckoutEditText` acts as a wrapper around an `EditText`. This is to ensure you can't access the `EditText` instance and remain SAQ-A compliant.

Because of this, you must perform an action on the `EditText` rather than on the `AccessCheckoutEditText` instance.

You can access the `EditText` instance in Espresso by using the code below, where the id corresponds to the id of the `AccessCheckoutEditText` instance:


```
Espresso.onView(ViewMatchers.withParent(withId(R.id.your_identifier)))
```
