applaunch 

This workload launches and measures the launch time of applications for supporting workloads.

Currently supported workloads are the ones that implement ApplaunchInterface. For any workload to support this workload, it should implement the ApplaunchInterface. The corresponding java file of the workload associated with the application being measured is executed during the run. The application that needs to be measured is passed as a parameter workload_name. The parameters required for that workload have to be passed as a dictionary which is captured by the parameter workload_params. This information can be obtained by inspecting the workload details of the specific workload.

The workload allows to run multiple iterations of an application launch in two modes:

Launch from background
Launch from long-idle

These modes are captured as a parameter applaunch_type.

launch_from_background: Launches an application after the application is sent to background by pressing Home button.
launch_from_long-idle: Launches an application after killing an application process and clearing all the caches.

Test Description:

During the initialization and setup, the application being launched is launched for the first time. The jar file of the workload of the application is moved to device at the location workdir which further implements the methods needed to measure the application launch time.
Run phase calls the UiAutomator of the applaunch which runs in two subphases.
1. Applaunch Setup Run:
  During this phase, welcome screens and dialogues during the first launch of the instrumented application are cleared.
2. Applaunch Metric Run:
  During this phase, the application is launched multiple times determined by the iteration number specified by the parameter applaunch_iterations. Each of these iterations are instrumented to capture the launch time taken and the values are recorded as UXPERF marker values in logfile.

benchmarkpi 

Measures the time the target device takes to run and complete the Pi calculation algorithm.

http://androidbenchmark.com/howitworks.php

from the website:

The whole idea behind this application is to use the same Pi calculation algorithm on every Android Device and check how fast that process is. Better calculation times, conclude to faster Android devices. This way you can also check how lightweight your custom made Android build is. Or not.

As Pi is an irrational number, Benchmark Pi does not calculate the actual Pi number, but an approximation near the first digits of Pi over the same calculation circles the algorithms needs.

So, the number you are getting in milliseconds is the time your mobile device takes to run and complete the Pi calculation algorithm resulting in a approximation of the first Pi digits.

chrome 

A workload to perform standard Web browsing tasks with Google Chrome. The workload carries out a number of typical Web-based tasks, navigating through a handful of Wikipedia pages in multiple browser tabs.

To run the workload in offline mode, a pages.tar archive and an OfflinePages.db file are required. For users wishing to generate these files themselves, Chrome should first be operated from an Internet-connected environment and the following Wikipedia pages should be downloaded for offline use within Chrome:

Following this, the files of interest for viewing these pages offline can be found in the /data/data/com.android.chrome/app_chrome/Default/Offline Pages directory. The OfflinePages.db file can be copied from the ‘metadata’ subdirectory, while the *.mhtml files that should make up the pages.tar file can be found in the ‘archives’ subdirectory. These page files can then be archived to produce a tarball using a command such as tar -cvf pages.tar -C /path/to/archives .. Both this and OfflinePages.db should then be placed in the ~/.workload_automation/dependencies/chrome/ directory on your local machine, creating this if it does not already exist.

geekbench 

Geekbench provides a comprehensive set of benchmarks engineered to quickly and accurately measure processor and memory performance.

http://www.primatelabs.com/geekbench/ From the website: Designed to make benchmarks easy to run and easy to understand, Geekbench takes the guesswork out of producing robust and reliable benchmark results. Geekbench scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 1,000 (which is the score of a single-processor Power Mac G5 @ 1.6GHz). Higher scores are better, with double the score indicating double the performance.

The benchmarks fall into one of four categories:

integer performance.
floating point performance.
memory performance.
stream performance.

To run the workload in offline mode, a ‘mailstore.tar’ file is required. In order to generate such a file, Gmail should first be operated from an Internet-connected environment. After this, the relevant database files can be found in the ‘/data/data/com.google.android.gm/databases’ directory. These files can then be archived to produce a tarball using a command such as tar -cvf mailstore.tar -C /path/to/databases .. The result should then be placed in the ‘~/.workload_automation/dependencies/gmail/’ directory on your local machine, creating this if it does not already exist.

googlemaps 

A workload to perform standard navigation tasks with Google Maps. This workload searches for known locations, pans and zooms around the map, and follows driving directions along a route.

To run the workload in offline mode, databases.tar and files.tar archives are required. In order to generate these files, Google Maps should first be operated from an Internet-connected environment, and a region around Cambridge, England should be downloaded for offline use. This region must include the landmarks used in the UIAutomator program, which include Cambridge train station and Corpus Christi college.

Following this, the files of interest can be found in the databases and files subdirectories of the /data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/ directory. The contents of these subdirectories can be archived into tarballs using commands such as tar -cvf databases.tar -C /path/to/databases .. These databases.tar and files.tar archives should then be placed in the ~/.workload_automation/dependencies/googlemaps directory on your local machine, creating this if it does not already exist.

googleslides 

A workload to perform standard productivity tasks with Google Slides. The workload carries out various tasks, such as creating a new presentation, adding text, images, and shapes, as well as basic editing and playing a slideshow. This workload should be able to run without a network connection.

There are two main scenarios:

create test: a presentation is created in-app and some editing done on it,
load test: a pre-existing PowerPoint file is copied onto the device for testing.

— create — Create a new file in the application and perform basic editing on it. This test also requires an image file specified by the param test_image to be copied onto the device.

Test description:

Start the app and skip the welcome screen. Dismiss the work offline banner if present.
Go to the app settings page and enables PowerPoint compatibility mode. This allows PowerPoint files to be created inside Google Slides.
Create a new PowerPoint presentation in the app (PPT compatibility mode) with a title slide and save it to device storage.
Insert another slide and to it insert the pushed image by picking it from the gallery.
Insert a final slide and add a shape to it. Resize and drag the shape to modify it.
Finally, navigate back to the documents list.

— load — Copy a PowerPoint presentation onto the device to test slide navigation. The PowerPoint file to be copied is given by test_file.

Test description:

From the documents list (following the create test), open the specified PowerPoint by navigating into device storage and wait for it to be loaded.
A navigation test is performed while the file is in editing mode (i.e. not slideshow). swiping forward to the next slide until slide_count swipes are performed.
While still in editing mode, the same action is done in the reverse direction back to the first slide.
Enter presentation mode by selecting to play the slideshow.
Swipe forward to play the slideshow, for a maximum number of slide_count swipes.
Finally, repeat the previous step in the reverse direction while still in presentation mode, navigating back to the first slide.

NOTE: There are known issues with the reliability of this workload on some targets. It MAY NOT ALWAYS WORK on your device. If you do run into problems, it might help to set do_text_entry parameter to False.

rt-app 

A test application that simulates configurable real-time periodic load.

rt-app is a test application that starts multiple periodic threads in order to simulate a real-time periodic load. It supports SCHED_OTHER, SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR as well as the AQuoSA framework and SCHED_DEADLINE.

The load is described using JSON-like config files. Below are a couple of simple examples.

Simple use case which creates a thread that run 1ms then sleep 9ms until the use case is stopped with Ctrl+C:

{
    "tasks" : {
        "thread0" : {
            "loop" : -1,
            "run" :   20000,
            "sleep" : 80000
        }
    },
    "global" : {
        "duration" : 2,
        "calibration" : "CPU0",
        "default_policy" : "SCHED_OTHER",
        "pi_enabled" : false,
        "lock_pages" : false,
        "logdir" : "./",
        "log_basename" : "rt-app1",
        "ftrace" : false,
        "gnuplot" : true,
    }
}

Simple use case with 2 threads that runs for 10 ms and wake up each other until the use case is stopped with Ctrl+C

{
    "tasks" : {
        "thread0" : {
            "loop" : -1,
            "run" :     10000,
            "resume" : "thread1",
            "suspend" : "thread0"
        },
        "thread1" : {
            "loop" : -1,

-D. trending - Goes to the ‘Trending Videos’ section of the app, and plays the first: video in the trending videos list.

For the selected video source, the following test steps are performed:

Navigate to the general app settings page to disable autoplay. This improves test stability and predictability by preventing screen transition to load a new video while in the middle of the test.
Select the video from the source specified above, and dismiss any potential embedded advert that may pop-up before the actual video.
Let the video play for a few seconds, pause it, then resume.
Expand the info card that shows video metadata, then collapse it again.
Scroll down to the end of related videos and comments under the info card, and then back up to the start. A maximum of 5 swipe actions is performed in either direction.

youtube_playback 

Simple Youtube video playback

This triggers a video streaming playback on Youtube. Unlike the more featureful “youtube” workload, this performs no other action that starting the video via an intent and then waiting for a certain amount of playback time. This is therefore only useful when you are confident that the content on the end of the provided URL is stable - that means the video should have no advertisements attached.
