This section is aimed at Tradefed developers. If you are interested in extending TF or adding new test support, this is the section for you.
Open source
If you plan to use the open source variant of Trade Federation, use these
commands to check out and build the AOSP main branch of Trade Federation:
cd <sourceroot>
mkdir main
cd main
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b main
repo sync -c -j8
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch aosp_cf_x86_64_phone-userdebug # or any other device target
m -j tradefed-all
See Development Environment for more details.
All open-sourceable Trade Federation code is stored in the tools/tradefederation/ git project of AOSP. Please keep the open source guidelines in mind when writing code and submitting changes.
Alternatively, if you are creating tests/utilities that use Trade Federation but aren't working on the framework itself, consider placing your work inside one of the Trade Federation contrib projects to speed approvals.
Coding style
Trade Federation follows the Android coding style guidelines, with the following clarifications: interface names are prefixed with 'I' e.g. ITestDevice.
Develop using Eclipse
