We've talked about it with Jim already, but it's unclear at the moment whether it would be suitable as a full replacement for the android test runner, or something that our test runner would run as a test, and would help us get tests into the android test runner quickly (since hopefully it will support quite a few).  Yongqin is taking a look at it now.

Thanks,
Paul Larson

Hi Jim,

sounds interesting. Would be cool to have this integrated/available in linaro android. I guess this would help us design and execute testcases for android to be run in LAVA? wonder how much overlap this has with the testrunner framework discussed/developed in pauls team for android+lava.

Hi everyone,

I am glad to announce our new project, ASTER System Testing Environment
and Runtime, an automated functional testing tool. This is a tool aimed
for testers, it includes an easy to use IDE for generating UI test cases
and a script runner for batch running test cases. The tool is built upon
the concept of Sikuli desktop automation tool and the Android monkey
runner engine.

We gave a talk at COSCUP[1] introducing this project and demonstrated
the capability of the tool. You can grab the slides from here[2]. The
project page is here[3] and you can also download the prebuilt preview
binary at the download page[4]. The documentation is currently lacking
but I hope the IDE is simple enough for everyone to figure out how to
use it. In the other hand you always can checkout the source code and
explore the underlying implementation.
