Thanks for sharing. This is a great article to share. I've searched on the web and cannot find much about adtest tutorial, and this is a greatest I can find

 

When I follow along, I found one of the commands might be missed. When I tried to run add member to the group 1, it failed because group #1 was not created, and in your x64Performance.ats file, group 0~26 is created under Distribution Group

 

So the following command need to run before add member to the group
