(like this - https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/dex-format.html)
ART (Android RunTime) uses OAT and ART, but they do not explain the meaning anywhere.

The OAT exam, or the Optometry Admissions Test, is a standardized test used by optometry schools and admissions committees to test the knowledge of potential applicants. The test is administered by the Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry.
Itβs Of Ahead Time, a silly reordering of Ahead Of Time. We went with that because then we say that process of converting .dex

OAT is a file format produced by compiling a DEX file with ahead-of-time compilation (AOT).
Before AOT came to Android, dexopt
was used to optimize DEX to ODEX (optimized DEX) which contains the optimized bytecode.
With AOT, dex2oat
is used to optimize and compile DEX into an OAT file which may contain machine code in the ELF format.
