The Vendor Test Suite (VTS) automates HAL and OS kernel testing. To use VTS to test an Android native system implementation, set up a testing environment then test a patch using a VTS plan.

Establishing a test environment

To set up a testing environment:

  1. Install Python development kit: 
    sudo apt-get install python-dev
  2. Install Protocol Buffer tools (for Python): 
    sudo apt-get install python-protobuf
sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler
  3. Install Python virtual environment-related tools: 
    sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
sudo apt-get install python-pip

Testing a patch

To test a patch:

  1. Build a VTS host-side package: 
    . build/envsetup.sh
lunch aosp_arm64-userdebug
make vts -j
  2. Run the default VTS tests: 
    vts-tradefed
tf> run vts     // where vts is the test plan name

VTS plans

Available VTS test plans include:

Command Description
> run vts For default VTS tests
> run vts-hal For default VTS HAL (hardware abstraction layer) tests
> run vts-kernel For default VTS kernel tests

To view a list of all plans, refer to /test/vts/tools/vts-tradefed/res/config.md.
