CTS-Root Trade Federation

CTS-Root Trade Federation, cts-root-tradefed for short, is built on top of the Android Trade Federation test harness for general compatibility tests that require root privileges or a debuggable device to run.

Configuring cts-root-tradefed

Ensure 'adb' is in your current PATH. adb can be found in the Android SDK available from http://developer.android.com

Example: PATH=$PATH:/home/myuser/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools

And ensure device is visible via 'adb devices'

Using cts-root-tradefed

To run a test plan on a single device:

1. Make sure you have at least one device connected
2. Launch the cts-root-tradefed console by running 'cts-root-tradefed'. If you are working from the Android source tree and have run 'm cts_root', the script can be found at out/host/linux-x86/ats/android-cts_root/tools/cts-root-tradefed
3. Type: 'run cts-root' to run the default MTS plan

Some other useful commands are

To run a test module: 'run cts-root --module <module_name>'

To run a specific test: 'run cts-root --test <test_name>'

To shard a plan test run on multiple devices 'run cts-root --shards note: all connected devices must be running the same build

For more options: 'run cts-root --help'
