ADB WebUI System Image Management
ADB WebUI mobile application testing tool has added another feature allowing testers control of AVD system images (snapshots). The addition of the Emulator Snapshot Management module provides functions to save, boot, load, and delete emulator snapshots. This is a great feature allowing capture of the emulator device state at any moment in time. It is additionally useful in regression testing allowing saving of snapshots from differing versions of the application under development. The save feature allows adding a description for future reference. Emulator Snapshot Management does not require access to the emulator GUI and performs all operations remotely. Load no save selection is followed by a reboot while the Boot no save (headless) selection restores the device to the saved snapshot state.
New snapshots can be created from the current booted or loaded snapshots. Use of snapshots can be utilized to provide navigation for bug reporting purposes eliminating the need to document navigation to the reported issue.
