Hi,
I'm a developer, I just developped a game clone for sailfish, because the original android app is a battery ogre.
Now I want to test the batterie consumtpion, the CPU uses.... of my app before I release it.
How can I do that ?

You can test battery consumption e.g. with Hunger Meter:

Lighthouse may also be useful:

Many others around too.
I dont think theres any completely automated way of seeing a single app's battery consumption.
This project should help you but don't know the level of development by Jolla/SailfishOS https://together.jolla.com/question/14126/optimize-sailfish-with-mageec-project-which-profiles-and-generates-energy-efficient-code/

There is also powertop command that you can run in Terminal app: pkcon install powertop

Alternative method: Measurement of electric current.
You get most accurate results if using a laboratory power supply and a capacitor as a fake battery, since software-side energy monitoring always measures also intrinsic consumption by the app itself.
By sampling the current at different events you are able to directly quantify energy consumption. An example of a measurement like this is described here.
But beware that warranty could be voided, as you would do that on your own risk.
ps.: To avoid any risk of damage: If you had access to a high voltage laboratory power supply you could also sample current from there, using a standard charger as supply for the phone. Still you need the capacitor to simulate the battery. Of course, part of the current may be consumed by the charger but at least you could sample relatively to idle current.

can I ask which game you have cloned? :)
