This page includes the key CTS changes introduced in Android 14.

CTS features

Android 14 includes new and updated documentation for the following CTS features.

Area	Features	Description	Added/Updated
Test Highlights	Add utility functions to run as carrier service	This change introduces new utility functions in CarrierPrivilegeUtils to allow CTS to run as a carrier service (implicitly with carrier privileges) and improve the testability for many carrier APIs and connectivity classes.	Updated
Test module	Add multi-device CTS tests for Bluetooth	This feature allows advertisements to expose only specified GATT services, allowing for better privacy when continuously advertising in connectable mode.	Added
Test module	Add multi-device CTS tests for UWB ranging distance accuracy	Add new test cases for UWB ranging distance measurement accuracy to enforce the UWB CDD requirement.	Added
Test module	Add CtsDevicePolicySimTestCases to CTS SIM test plan	The test case was updated to require a valid SIM as a part of test setup.	Added
Test module	Added UWB multi-device CTS test suite	Added a new UWB multi-device CTS test suite which uses 2 UWB enabled android devices to verify various UWB functionalities.	Added
Test module	Increased test cases in dEQP module	Updated dEQP branch for Android 14 CTS to use vulkan-cts-1.3.5 (instead of 1.3.1). Many new tests are added as this update brings many new tests for the new Vulkan features such as dynamic rendering.	Updated
Test Setup	Increase heap size to 16GB	Increased heap memory size to help execute CTS tests that consume greater memory.	Updated
Test Setup	Upgrade RAM to 128GB and HDD to 256GB	Upgrade host system memory to handle added Java heap space requirements.	Updated

CTS Verifier features

Android 14 includes new and updated documentation for the following CTS Verifier features.

Area	Features	Description	Added/Updated
Test Setup	Update required peripherals for Dynamic Sensor Test	Update CTS Verifier test guidance page to include updated pheripherals and instructions for the dynamic sensor tests.	Updated
Test Setup	Improve Camera ITS to support Foldable Devices	Support foldable device testing in Camera ITS. Made changes in ItsService side to determine the available physical cameras with each fold/open state.	Updated
CTS-V test class	Wi-Fi Aware pairing	Wi-Fi aware pairing provide a encrypt and fast re-auth way for peer-to-peer communication throw Wifi aware. Add test in CTS-V as other multi devices tests for Aware. The test needs both devices support this feature.	Added
CTS-V test class	Test activities for home Controls embedded panel	Starting in Android 14, a new API is provided so apps can use an embedded activity (in the SystemUI controls space) instead of passing the information through the Controls API. New test activities added to enforce the API behavior.	Added
CTS-V test class	Tests for Presence requirements (BLE & NAN/Wi-Fi Ranging)	To ensure that users' smart devices work well together, it's critical that all devices in the Android ecosystem can determine the relative proximity between devices. Android U introduces presence calibration requirements that outline the acceptable performance of available radio technologies such as UWB, Wi-Fi, and BLE that are used to determine proximity.	Added
CTS-V test class	CTS Verifier for AAudio Disconnect	Test to verify that AAudio should disconnect a stream when the stream device is unplugged.	Added
CTS-V test class	CTS Verifier Screenshot Work Profile test	Add new test cases to enforce CDD requirement 3.9.2/C-1-10. User will be instructed to take a screenshot. ContentObserver detects URI of the screenshot saved and displays the result. User must visually confirm the image, which does not contain other apps or SystemUI (status bar, etc).	Added
Test Highlights	CTS Verifier Capture Content for Notes APIs test.	Add new test activity to enforce Notes APIs, which are linked to system note-taking integrations in SysUI. The test can be skipped if the NOTES role isn't enabled. See Capture Content for Notes Tests for more details.	Added
Test Setup	Execute adb command to turn on the screen automatically when the tests finish	Starting in Android 14, android.permission.TURN_SCREEN_ON permission has been added to allow the screen to be turn on after the test is completed. To enable the feature, user will need to execute the adb command adb shell appops set com.android.cts.verifier TURN_SCREEN_ON 0 in the setup step.	Updated
Test Setup	Update Rotation Vector testing instruction	Users should download OpenCV-3.0.0-android-sdk.zip and install the OpenCV Manager on the Android device being tested. Load the APK on the device from a computer using the adb install command with the --bypass-low-target-sdk-block option. For devices running Android 13 or lower, this --bypass-low-target-sdk-block option isn't necessary. For more information, see Install an app.	Updated
Test Setup	Add adb install notes regarding OpenCV APK	Due to a new security feature that was introduced in Android 14, the adb command --bypass-low-target-sdk-block must be added every time when installing the Open CV APK. See Rotation vector CV crosscheck for more information.	Added

CTS modules

The number of test modules and test cases are as follows:

• ~ 1151 modules depending on the devices
• ~ 4.4M test cases over 2 ABIs

In Android 14, a total of 136 new modules are added and a total of 19 modules are removed. See the following tables for more information.
