How to run CTS tests in android(Eclair)?

Question

In order to release a device to the market, You need to run the Compatibility Test Suite given by android...I need to know how to download and run it..

Answer 1

Thanks for all the guides and links above that helps me to setup the CTS successfully.

I using - Android CTS v2.3_r8

I summarize the steps here for those who wish to get CTS up on Windows.

1. Install cygwin here: http://www.cygwin.com

2. I placed android-cts in my cygwin folder e.g. C:\cygwin\home\Username\. You may set up accordingly if you have placed it elsewhere.

3. Create new Environment Variables to point to SDK_ROOT and CTS_ROOT directories

   1. Go to Control panel->System -> Advanced tab
   2. Click on Environment variables
   3. Click on New to add CTS_ROOTS to system variables and add the path of android-cts to its value
   4. Do the same for SDK_ROOT and add the path of andriod-sdk to its value

4. Go to android-cts\tools and modify 2 lines in the startcts script file as follows [With help from How to run Android's CTS on windows on an emulator but some slight modification that works for me

   JARS="$(cygpath -w -p ${CTS_LIB}:${DDM_LIB}:${JUNIT_LIB}:${HOSTTEST_LIB})"
   java ${JAVA_OPTS} -cp ${JARS} com.android.cts.TestHost "$(cygpath -w "${CONFIG}")" "$@" ${DDCONFIG}
   

Save startcts as Unix file. I use dos2unix.exe downloaded from http://waterlan.home.xs4all.nl/dos2unix.html to convert it to Unix file.

Then, to run CTS

1. Attach android device to PC

2. (a) Go to cmd prompt, type adb install -r android-cts/repository/testcases/CtsDeviceAdmin.apk

3. (b) On the device, enable all the android.deviceadmin.cts.* device administrators under Settings > Location & security > Select device administrators

4. Run cygwin and go to android-cts/tools

5. Execute Android CTS by ./startcts

For how to run the tests in CTS, I refer again to section Working with CTS in the link given the earlier comment by cezio "using-androids-compatibility-test-suite"
