##Open Source Code Package

The Application Resource Optimizer (ARO) is a diagnostic tool for analyzing mobile web application performance developed by AT&T. ARO allows you to automatically profile an application to optimize performance, make battery utilization more efficient, and reduce network impact.

The ARO Data Collector is the component of the ARO application that captures the data traffic of a mobile device and stores that information in trace files that can be analyzed using the ARO Data Analyzer.

The ARO Data Analyzer is the component of the ARO application that evaluates the trace data collected from an application and generates statistical and analytical results based on recommended best practices.

This Open Source Code Package contains all of the code needed to build both of these ARO components.

Version:
ARO Data Analyzer 4.1.1
ARO Data Collector 3.1.1.10

What’s new in Release 4.1.1?
(Note: ARO versions 4.0.1 and 4.1 have been combined for this new release.)

• AT&T ARO Non-Rooted Data Collector adds support for Android 5.01/5.1 (Lollipop)
  The AT&T ARO non-rooted collector now supports data collection from devices running Android 5.01 and 5.1 (Lollipop).

• AT&T ARO Data Collector adds support for Android 5.01/5.1 (Lollipop) on the Android Emulator
  AT&T ARO now supports data collection from Android 5.01 and 5.1 (Lollipop) virtual devices on the Android Emulator.

• AT&T ARO Analyzer no longer contains pre-defined profiles for specific devices
  The AT&T ARO Analyzer now only contains profiles for the network types AT&T 3G, AT&T LTE, and AT&T WiFi. Network profiles were found to be more widely used and more effective when analyzing traces than device profiles. The values of the attributes for all three profiles can still be fully customized through options in the AT&T ARO Analyzer Profiles menu.

What are the known issues in Release 4.1.1?

• When the AT&T ARO Data Collector apk is launched on a device, it may be blocked if the Back button is pressed or if the Terms and Conditions for ARO are declined. If the Terms and Conditions are declined and the collector is launched again, you will see the message "ARO is currently running on the device".
• The total megabytes (MB) value in the results for the Duplicate Content Best Practices test in AT&T ARO Analyzer does not match with the total amount of TCP data transferred.
• When the rooted AT&T ARO Data Collector apk is launched on a device with the GPS turned on, it activates the device GPS for the duration of the trace.
• When using the AT&T ARO Data Collector apk on a rooted Motorola Nexus 6 device running Android 5 (Lollipop), the trace video that is captured cannot be displayed in the ARO Analyzer. To work around this, run the ARO Data Collector directly from the Data Collector menu of the ARO Analyzer to capture the trace.
• When using the AT&T ARO Data Collector apk on rooted Motorola Nexus devices that use an emulated SD card, the trace file stored on the device must be retrieved manually using the following ADB shell command:
  adb pull /sdcard/ARO/tracename

What are the other known issues from previous releases?

• Video Sync/Video Correlation feature: This feature allows you to sync externally captured video to PCAP data by placing it in the trace folder. When using this feature in ARO 2.3, note the following:

  • Please ensure that the video duration is at least as long as the trace duration.
  • Avoid clicking in the Diagnostics Chart when the video is playing; the timing of response may be affected.
  • Certain 64 bit Windows 7 computers may have unexpected/random video sync issues. If this occurs, Re-sync the trace to the video.
  • Do not use a High Definition (HD) video file with the Video Sync feature.
  • Avoid disconnecting the USB cable during the collection of a trace, it may cause unexpected behavior.
  • On a Mac computer, the Trace Summary notification window may appear distorted. This will be fixed in a future release.

• USB Video Feature: In some cases, the following notification may appear incorrectly when the trace is completed: "Unexpected error accessing device SD card. ADB Connection Error" When this occurs, the trace is intact and the error message can be disregarded.

• Recording video in a trace: Some devices may not record video during a trace due to hardware limitations. For these devices, use the USB Video feature to record a video for the trace.

• Loading a trace: While loading a trace in the ARO Analyzer, an Out of Memory (OOM) notification (application heap size issue) error may occur, or the message: “ARO Analyzer has reached the maximum memory heap size. Close ARO Analyzer and try again or increase ARO Analyzer’s heap size. Also consider collecting multiple, smaller, more isolated traces.” may appear. This can also occur when the same trace is re-loaded.

• AT&T ARO Data Collector support for iOS: The following issues can occur on the specified iPhone devices if they are disconnected from a Mac running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 and OS X Mavericks 10.9 while a trace is being collected:

  • On the iPhone 5c, the ARO Data Analyzer may hang and display an empty pop-up, requiring the Analyzer to be closed.
  • On the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4s, the error message “No data Packet captured” may be displayed. The correct error message is “Device got disconnected”.
  • Traces collected from an iPhone connected to a Mac running OS X Mavericks 10.9 are not supported by the AT&T ARO Analyzer when it is running on a Windows OS.

• ARO Analyzer Diagnostics Chart:

  • Alarm Triggers are not displayed in the Diagnostics chart of the ARO Analyzer for traces collected from the HTC One X.
  • The type of Burst may be reported differently, for the same testing scenario steps, on the Diagnostics Chart for traces captured from an Android device and an iPhone.
  • When a TCP/UDP flow is deselected and the Diagnostics Chart is refreshed more than three times, the deselected packet information displays on the chart and the burst length changes.

• ARO Analyzer Best Practices "Resize images for Mobile": Due to limitations in the structure of pcap files, the results for the “Resize Images for Mobile” test will appear differently for ARO trace files and pcap files.

• ARO Analyzer Best Practices "Duplicate Content": When data is exported to a .csv file using the Export button in the Statistics Tab or the Data Dump option in the Tools menu, the results listed for the Duplicate Content test are incorrect 80% of the time, when compared to the results in the ARO Analyzer.

• Set ADB Path Option: When using the Set ADB Path option on the File menu, the Cancel button does not work correctly, it saves the path name that is entered in the dialog.

• iOS Traces: Some devices may not record video during a trace due to hardware limitations. For these devices, use the USB Video feature to record a video for the trace.

##Compiling and Building ARO The following sections describe the basic steps for compiling and building the ARO Data Collector and ARO Data Analyzer. For more detailed information, see the ARO Compilation and Build Guide.

###ARO Data Collector This section describes how to setup the development environment, and then compile and build the ARO Data Collector into an Android Application Package (APK) using the Android SDK and Apache Ant. The APK file can then be installed on a device via the Android Debug Bridge (ADB).

Note: In order for the ARO Data Collector to be fully functional, it must be installed on a rooted device.

Setup the Development Environment

1. Download and setup the Android SDK. Go to the Android Developers website http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html, download the Android package for your platform, and follow the steps to setup the Android SDK.

2. Add additional components. Follow the installation instructions at http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html, especially the step: Adding Platforms and Other Components.

3. Download Apache ANT. Go to http://ant.apache.org and follow the download instructions.

Compile and Build the ARO Data Collector

1. Checkout the ARO Data Collector source code from the ARODataCollector folder to a local folder.

2. Update the project.properties to match your local configuration and generate a build.xml by using the following command syntax:

    android update project --name <project_name> --target <target_ID> --path <path_to_your_project>
   

   Note: ARO Data Collector supports Android 2.1 and above, so the target id should be set to a value greater than 2.1. In the following example, it is set to 7.

    android update project --name ARODataCollector --target 7 --path ../ARODataCollector
   

3. Build the ARO Data Collector project for debug using the command "ant debug", or for release using the command "ant release".

4. Transfer the ARO Data Collector APK file to a rooted device using the ADB, with the command: "adb aro"

###ARO Data Analyzer To build the ARO Data Analyzer, follow these steps to setup the development environment for your OS and compile and build the code.
