App run and log

A simple Android app executer. Installs an application, starts main activity or runs monkey and reports crashes. It helps to automatically/manually check a set of applications if they crash or not.

app-run-and-log

This is the very basic automated testing pipeline for Android. Its only purpose is to find healthy apps and to filter out all the apps that could not be tested (therefore, not healthy) on your particular device or emulator. Not healthy apps affect the evaluation of dynamic analysis tools effectiveness.

Healthy app is the app that can be installed onto selected device and does not crash upon startup.

Testing flow

  • install
  • run the main activity or monkey
  • uninstall
  • report if the app failed to install or crashed upon startup time
  • proceed with the next app

Launching

  1. Create config.py based on config.py.sample before launching the app.
  2. Prepare device/emulator.
$ pip install -e .
$ app_run_and_log run <apk_path> # run a single app

Examples

  1. Launch all apps from a directory.
$ app_run_and_log run_dir <input_dir> -o <output_dir> 
  1. Run monkey on every app with 1000 events (see config.py for defaults).
$ app_run_and_log run_dir <input_dir> -o <output_dir> --monkey -e 1000
