device-farm-demo

Minimal demo of a CodePipeline executing Android instrumentation tests in AWS DeviceFarm

This demo includes

• Custom resources to create AWS DeviceFarm projects & device pools
• A minimal Android project with one Hello-World instrumentation test
• A CodePipeline to build the Android app and run instrumentation tests on DeviceFarm

The whole demo is deployed as 3 CloudFormation stacks.

Prerequisites

You need

• access to an AWS account
• The AWS command-line tools

All commands shown below need to run within the context of an AWS profile, e.g. by specifying AWS_PROFILE. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-configure.html for how to setup the AWS cli.

Deploy the demo to your AWS account

All CloudFormation stacks are prefixed with the given prefix. This allows to deploy the demo multiple times, e.g. in a shared playground account.

./deploy_pipeline.sh your_prefix

This deploys 3 stacks:

• your_prefix-device-farm-demo-infrastructure Some basic infrastructure needed for later steps
• your_prefix-device-farm-demo-resources Custom resource lambdas
• your_prefix-device-farm-demo-pipeline CodePipeline ready to build & test the Android project

Trigger the pipeline

For the sake of simplicity, the demo pipeline is triggered by uploading a sources.zip to S3. The target bucket is part of the pipeline stack.

./push_sources.sh your_prefix

The pipeline should now be triggered and first build the app, then run the instrumentation tests on AWS DeviceFarm.
