Advances in cloud computing have simplified the way that both software development and testing are performed. This is not true for battery testing for which state of the art test-beds simply consist of one phone attached to a power meter. These test-beds have limited resources, access, and are overall hard to maintain; for these reasons, they often...

Conference Paper
There has been a growing interest in measuring and optimizing the power efficiency of mobile apps. Traditional power evaluations rely either on inaccurate software-based solutions or on ad-hoc testbeds composed of a power meter and a mobile device. This demonstration presents BatteryLab, our solution to share existing battery testing setups to buil...

... Recent studies have determined that server power consumption is measured sequentially with resource usage [5][6][7]. This information also calls for a significant contribution to the standardization of ta sks in reducing energy consumption. ...
... To handle big numbers, we use the high-performance Rust library of Arithmetic in Multiple Precision (RAMP) [29]. We perform a series of measurements on the power discharge (in mAh) of the battery of three Google Pixel devices (Table III), using the BatteryLab infrastructure [44] that operationalises a Monsoon High Voltage Power Monitor [32]. Additionally, we measured the CPU utilization (in %) and the end-to-end latency (in sec) of the smallest possible synergy. ...
... We focus on classic web performance metrics [25] (FirstContent-fulPaint, SpeedIndex and PageLoadTime), as well as CPU, and bandwidth usage. For the Samsung J3, we also report on battery consumption measured by a power meter directly connected to the device in battery bypass [26]. Given that not all browsers on Android allow communication with their developer tools, which is used by WebPageTest, we have also developed a tool which uses the Android Debugging Bridge (adb) [6] to automate a browser, i.e., launch and load a webpage, while monitoring resource utilization. ...
