Automating use cases for Power and Performance Evaluation - Email, Document Reader and Camera

Abstract

The are many different automation techniques for Android phones to simulate user touch, click, swipe and many such events on android devices like phone & tablets. By simulating these events we are trying to create few minutes of automation model for email, e-book reader and Google camera. With this automation run we measure power and performance of application by different debugging techniques like Traceview, c- states, p-states, sys-trace, power tool, system logs. With this complete process one can compare different android phones based on power & performance parameters. The email application is completely based on Android Java related framework and Camera and e-book reader application is based on Android Java Native Interface so that one can generate processor specific execution binary and later on compare the performance using CPU specific instructions. These, benchmarks help in meeting the user acceptance of the Android phones.
