Hello,
Google has release the latest version of Tradefed with the Android N release.

Lots of dispatcher/slave features which LAVA already supports.
Thanks for pointing this out. I'll take a look.
Given this update, is LAVA exploring to adopt the new mechanism or continue developing its own architecture ?
I'm not sure there is overlap. Main purpose of LAVA is to provision the target device with your OS build. Tradefed doesn't have this implemented [1]. Testing comes later. We're already using tradefed for running CTS tests. If more can be done using similar means, that's great.
[1] Quote from the docs: "The OEM could implement a device flashing module that will execute during the Target Setup stage of the lifecycle. That module would have complete control over the device during its execution period, which would allow it to potentially force the device into the bootloader, flash, and then force the device to reboot back into userspace mode."
