Google provides a test suite, called the Compliance Test Suite (CTS), which can be used
to validate that the behavior of a device matches what most applications expect.

It is part of their [http://source.android.com/compatibility/overview.html compatibility program] for
ensuring that new devices are compatible with the Android standard.

For an introduction to the CTS, see http://source.android.com/compatibility/cts-intro.html

== How to install and run the tests ==

Roger sent this information on the android-porting mailing list:

I would recommend getting the official test suites which you can get
at: http://source.android.com/compatibility/downloads.html

Unzip the file and you will get
android-cts/
docs/
repository/
tools/

You also need to have the Android SDK installed (get it from
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html).
Set the environment variable SDK_ROOT to the location where you install
the Android SDK.

On you target device, have /sdcard mounted and readable/writable.
Usually this is for an external SD card.
If this is so for your device, then insert a formatted SD card
before you run CTS.

Install the CTS service package, like so:
adb install -r android-cts/repository/ testcases/CtsDelegatingAccessibilityService.apk

On the device, enable
Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility > Delegating Accessibility Service

Launch the CTS in your shell: android-cts/tools/startcts
Run the tests: start --plan CTS

For devices I've tested, I've had to wait and ignore messages like:
Exception in thread "Thread-5"
com.android.ddmlib.ShellCommandUnresponsiveException

Results are output to:
android-cts/repository/results/

You can stop and restart a test suite by selecting the same result set
each time.
