+      description: |
+        A value between 1 and 50. For example, if your test execution contains 20 test cases and you specify four shards, the instrumentation command passes arguments of `-e numShards 4` to `AndroidJUnitRunner` and each shard executes about five test cases. Based on the sharding mechanism `AndroidJUnitRunner` uses, there is no guarantee that test cases will be distributed with perfect uniformity.     
+        If zero is specified then no uniform sharding is applied and all test cases run on a single device.
