1 CTS Trade Federation
2 ---------------------
3
4 CTS Trade Federation, cts-tradefed for short, is the next
5 generation test harness for CTS.
6
7 cts-tradefed is built on top of the Android Trade Federation test harness.
8
9 It works in a similar manner to the prior CTS harness, but supports some
10 advanced features such as:
11
12 - modular, flexible extensible design. cts-tradefed can be extended to
13 support running CTS in a continuous test environment.
14 - supports sharding a CTS test run across multiple devices in parallel
15 - automatically continue a CTS test run on another device if connection
16 is lost
17
18 Configuring cts-tradefed
19 ------------------------
20
21 1. Ensure 'adb' is in your current PATH. adb can be found in the
22 Android SDK available from http://developer.android.com
23
24 Example:
25 PATH=$PATH:/home/myuser/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools
26
27 2. Follow the 'Setting up your device' steps documented in the
28 CTS User Manual. The CTS User Manual can be downloaded at
29 http://source.android.com/compatibility/downloads.html
30
31 3. Connect the device to the host machine.
32
33 4. Ensure device is visible via 'adb devices'
34
35 Using cts-tradefed
36 -------------------
37
38 To run a test plan on a single device:
39
40 1. Make sure you have at least one device connected
41 2. Launch the cts-tradefed console by running the 'cts-tradefed' script at
42 android-cts/tools/cts-tradefed
43 3. Type:
44 'run cts --plan CTS' to run the default CTS plan
45
46 Some other useful commands are
47
48 To run a test package:
49 'run cts --package <packagename>'
50
51 To run a test class:
52 'run cts --class <full test class name>'
53
54 To shard a plan test run on multiple devices
55 'run cts --plan CTS --shards <number of shards>
56 note: all connected devices must be running the same build
57
58 For more options:
59 'run cts --help'

61 CTS Tradefed Development
62 ------------------------
63 See http://source.android.com for instructions on obtaining the Android
64 platform source code and setting up a build environment.
65
66 The source for the CTS extensions for tradefed can be found at
67 <android source root>/cts/tools/tradefed-host
68
69 The source for the tradefed framework can be found on the 'tradefed' branch.
70
71 Perform these steps to build and run cts-tradefed from the development
72 environment:
73 cd <path to android source root>
74 make cts
75 cts-tradefed
76
77 More documentation and details on using and extending trade federation will
78 be forthcoming in the near future.
