IShardableTest

public interface IShardableTest
implements IRemoteTest

com.android.tradefed.testtype.IShardableTest

Known indirect subclasses

BaseTestSuite, ITestSuite, StubTest, TestMappingSuiteRunner, TfSuiteRunner

BaseTestSuite	A Test for running Compatibility Test Suite with new suite system.
ITestSuite	Abstract class used to run Test Suite.
StubTest	No-op empty test implementation.
TestMappingSuiteRunner	Implementation of `BaseTestSuite` to run tests specified by option include-filter, or TEST_MAPPING files from build, as a suite.
TfSuiteRunner	Implementation of `ITestSuite` which will load tests from TF jars res/config/suite/ folder.

A IRemoteTest that can be split into separately executable sub-tests. The splitting into sub-tests is expected to be deterministic and each sub-test should be independent in order to allow for execution of different shards on different hosts.

Summary

Public methods
`default`	`split(Integer shardCountHint, TestInformation testInfo)` Alternative version of `split(int)` which also provides a `TestInformation` which contains early info from the parent creating the shards.
`default`	`split()` Shard the test into separately runnable chunks.
`default`	`split(int shardCountHint)` Alternative version of `split()` which also provides the shardCount that is attempted to be run.

Public methods

split

public  split (Integer shardCountHint, 
                TestInformation testInfo)

Alternative version of split(int) which also provides a TestInformation which contains early info from the parent creating the shards. It is useful if things like device or build information need to be accessed during sharding.

Parameters
`shardCountHint`	`Integer`: the attempted shard count.
`testInfo`	`TestInformation`: The parent `TestInformation`

Returns
	a collection of subtests to be executed separately or `null` if test is not currently shardable

split

public  split ()

Shard the test into separately runnable chunks.

This must be deterministic and always return the same list of IRemoteTests for the same input.

This will be called before test execution, so injected dependencies (such as the ITestDevice for IDeviceTests) may be null.

Returns
	a collection of subtests to be executed separately or `null` if test is not currently shardable

split

public  split (int shardCountHint)

Alternative version of split() which also provides the shardCount that is attempted to be run. This is useful for some test runner that cannot arbitrarily decide sometimes.

Parameters
`shardCountHint`	`int`: the attempted shard count.

Returns
	a collection of subtests to be executed separately or `null` if test is not currently shardable
