Hey Mark,
Sorry for the delayed response. We've been busy with blackhat/defcon stuff.
This really looks awesome. It solves some other problems that I was solving
in hacky ways too (namely device enumeration)! This will speed up our
automated testing by a factor of # of devices. I hope I can find some free
time in the next few weeks to work in these changes and report some exact
results to you guys.
I do want to note that we here at Flexilis are planning on open sourcing
this automated testing tool that allows scripted gui testing and deploying
unit tests to hundreds of devices across multiple platforms (android, winmo,
etc) sometime in the near future.
I'm really impressed Mark, thanks a lot!
