Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for validating an operating system are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of providing, to a computing device running an operating system that includes, a framework layer, a hardware abstraction layer, and a kernel that includes firmware and drivers, a reference system image that is configured to replace, supplement, or modify the framework layer. The actions further include providing, to the computing device, test data that is configured to verify functionality of the operating system by interacting with the reference system image to test functionality of the hardware abstraction layer without modifying the hardware abstraction layer, wherein the computing device with the framework layer replaced, supplemented, or modified by the reference system image is a non-rooted device. The actions further include determining whether the operating system of the computing device is functioning properly.
