What is AT&T ARO?

AT&T Application Resource Optimizer (ARO) is a diagnostic tool for analyzing mobile web application performance. The AT&T ARO allows you to automatically profile your prototype applications to help optimize their performance, make battery utilization more efficient, and reduce the network impact.

The tool is comprised of two parts, the AT&T ARO Data Collector and the AT&T ARO Data Analyzer.

What is AT&T ARO Data Collector?

The AT&T ARO Data Collector is an application that runs on certain mobile devices to capture the data traffic of the device as described below.

You can get access to the AT&T ARO Data Collector in one of the following ways:

The AT&T ARO Data Collector is pre-installed on certain devices that have been provided and are available via the Keynote DeviceAnywhere™ Program.
The AT&T ARO Data Analyzer has a built in Data Collector feature that can run a trace on an Android Emulator. Please refer to the References section for a link to the User Guide that has details on how to use the Android Emulator.

What is AT&T ARO Data Analyzer?

The AT&T ARO Data Analyzer is a tool for measuring and analyzing the energy usage when various applications are running on a device or on the Android Emulator. The Data Analyzer works from application traces gathered through the Data Collector to do its analysis.

The AT&T ARO Data Analyzer is a Java Web Start application that can be accessed from the AT&T Developer Program web site: http://developer.att.com/ARO

The AT&T ARO Data Analyzer provides the following:

Visibility into radio resource and energy utilization
Benchmarking of resource efficiencies
Automatic diagnosis of application inefficiencies

Virtual Device Lab (VDL) program is an extension of Keynote DeviceAnywhere™ one-of-a-kind platform that enables operators, handsets manufacturers and platform providers to extend customized packages of pre-commercial and in-market devices to their developer communities.
