In a modern world smartphones became a commonly used electronic devices performing numerous day-today tasks and much more. Quick battery discharge degrades
user experience, and computationally intensive or badly written
programs are responsible for it. It is not always evident which
tool to use and how to set up an experiment to estimate energy
consumption of a specific application. For this we conducted a
Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to list existing frameworks to
measure application power metering for Android OS, to classify
the approaches used to create them and also to assess their
accuracy and experimental methodology. Our findings indicate
that although there is a considerable amount of studies in this
field with various approaches, there is still a vacant place for a
readily available tool, and it is difficult to compare accuracy of
different frameworks. However there is a solid set of practices
and techniques for experimental setup in application energy
measurement.
