BLaDE (formerly known as BatteryLab) is an open-source platform for automated performance evaluations on mobile phones (Android and iOS). It is capable of recording power consumption (using a Monsoon HV Power Monitor), CPU usage and network traffic (bandwidth) using different types of automation methods (ADB for Android, BT for iOS/Android).
For setup instructions, refer to this document.
For running experiments, refer to the experiments/README.md.
Results were reported in the following blog posts:
