- added caseless_string type. This behaves exactly like a string, except
this ignores case in comparisons. It does, however, preserve case. E.g.
>>> s = caseless_string('Test')
>>> s == 'test'
True
>>> print s
Test
- added list_of type generating function. This allows to dynamically
generate type-safe list types based on an existing type. E.g.
>>> list_of_bool = list_of(bool)
>>> list_of_bool(['foo', 0, 1, '', True])
[True, False, True, False, True]
- Update core_names Device Parameter to be of type caseless_string
Workload Automation
+++++++++++++++++++
Workload Automation (WA) is a framework for executing workloads and collecting
measurements on Android and Linux devices. WA includes automation for nearly 50
workloads (mostly Android), some common instrumentation (ftrace, ARM
Streamline, hwmon). A number of output formats are supported.
Workload Automation is designed primarily as a developer tool/framework to
facilitate data driven development by providing a method of collecting
measurements from a device in a repeatable way.
Workload Automation is highly extensible. Most of the concrete functionality is
implemented via plug-ins, and it is easy to write new plug-ins to support new
device types, workloads, instrumentation or output processing.
Requirements
