Collect system data from an iOS device during automatic testing

Question

We are trying to create a mobile automated test lab that has 20 or 30 devices and wants to capture usage on each device during testing. I want to start with iOS devices. A data type in Xcode Debug Instruments would be ideal. However, I need to be able to automatically record and export this data for many devices.

I think the best way to get this data from so many iOS devices is to build an application. The application will capture the iOS processor, memory and battery life, disk usage and running processes (basically the same statistics as in Debug Instruments in Xcode), and then send data to the database.

What framework or tools would be useful for this?

Answer 1

It looks like you might be better off using a solution like New Relic Mobile Monitoring . They allow you to monitor performance on all devices , memory usage and time profiling and HTTP requests remotely by simply dropping their SDK into their applications.
