As part of our continous integration system it has become clear that gathering the app package data as well as the version name can provide useful. Adding this functionality to mainline as it could prove useful to other developers.
Workload Automation
+++++++++++++++++++
Workload Automation (WA) is a framework for executing workloads and collecting
measurements on Android and Linux devices. WA includes automation for nearly 40
workloads and supports some common instrumentation (ftrace, hwmon) along with a
number of output formats.
WA 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.
WA 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, instruments or output processing.
Requirements
============
- Python 3
- Linux (should work on other Unixes, but untested)
