Previously apk resolution would fail if the application apk was not present on device as this was used to retrieve information e.g. the package name. To work around this, the resolution process now supports searching the device for either a list of package names retrieved from the workload or as a parameter passed by the user at runtime and if found on the device will be pulled to the host to perform its analysis.
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.
