The CTS contains a utility to check those API signatures against the APIs available on the device. The results from signature checking are recorded in the test result XML file.
-Platform API Tests  |  Test the platform (core libraries and Android Application Framework) APIs as documented in the SDK [Class Index](http://code.google.com/android/reference/classes.html) to ensure API correctness, including correct class, attribute and method signatures, correct method behavior, and negative tests to ensure expected behavior for incorrect parameter handling.
