JouleUnit

JouleUnit is an energy profiling and testing framework for profiling ICT applications. It reuses the workload definition and execution capabilities of JUnit to define workloads to be profiled on a respective ICT device under test (e.g., and Android-operated mobile device, a Linux-operated PC or a humanoid NAO robot).

JouleUnit Workbench

Together with JouleUnit comes the JouleUnitWorkbench, integrating the framework into a the Eclipse IDE. A tutorial how to start and use the JouleUnit workbench can be found in the wiki branch of this repo. A screencast demonstrating the usage of JouleUnit for Android using a remote profiling server can be found there, too.
