In recent years, researchers have developed a number of tools to conduct taint analysis of Android applications. While all the respective papers aim at providing a thorough empirical evaluation, comparability is hindered by varying or…

Screen recordings are becoming increasingly important as rich software artifacts that inform mobile application development processes. However, the amount of manual effort required to extract information from these graphical artifacts can…

In the development and maintenance of Android apps, the quick and accurate reproduction of user-reported bugs is crucial to ensure application quality and improve user satisfaction. However, this process is often time-consuming and complex.…

Resource leak bugs in Android apps are pervasive and can cause serious performance degradation and system crashes. In recent years, several resource leak detection techniques have been proposed to assist Android developers in correctly…

Reproducing executions of multithreaded programs is very challenging due to many intrinsic and external non-deterministic factors. Existing RnR systems achieve significant progress in terms of performance overhead, but none targets the…

App quality has been shown to be the most important indicator of app adoption. To assure quality, developers mainly use testing to find bugs in app and apply structural and GUI test coverage criteria. However, mobile apps have more…

Mobile applications, often simply called "apps", are increasingly widespread, and we use them daily to perform a number of activities. Like all software, apps must be adequately tested to gain confidence that they behave correctly.…

Screen recordings of mobile apps are a popular and readily available way for users to share how they interact with apps, such as in online tutorial videos, user reviews, or as attachments in bug reports. Unfortunately, both people and…

UI testing is tedious and time-consuming due to the manual effort required. Recent research has explored opportunities for reusing existing UI tests from an app to automatically generate new tests for other apps. However, the evaluation of…

The ability to record and replay program executions with low overhead enables many applications, such as reverse-execution debugging, debugging of hard-to-reproduce test failures, and "black box" forensic analysis of failures in deployed…

Android apps must be able to deal with both stop events, which require immediately stopping the execution of the app without losing state information, and start events, which require resuming the execution of the app at the same point it…

Bug reports play a critical role in software maintenance by helping users convey encountered issues to developers. Recently, GUI screen capture videos have gained popularity as a bug reporting artifact due to their ease of use and ability…

Android OS is severely fragmented by API updates and device vendors' OS customization, creating a market condition where vastly different OS versions coexist. This gives rise to compatibility crash problems where Android apps crash on…

Automated Graphical User Interface (GUI) testing plays a crucial role in ensuring app quality, especially as mobile applications have become an integral part of our daily lives. Despite the growing popularity of learning-based techniques in…

Deterministic replay is a method for allowing complex multitasking real-time systems to be debugged using standard interactive debuggers. Even though several replay techniques have been proposed for parallel, multi-tasking and real-time…

As Augmented Reality (AR) becomes more and more embedded in daily life, ensuring the quality, safety, and reliability of AR applications is increasingly important. However, AR apps present unique challenges for automated testing. Unlike…

Android applications (apps) grow dramatically in recent years. Apps are user interface (UI) centric typically. Rapid UI responsiveness is key consideration to app developers. However, we still lack a handy tool for profiling app performance…

Automated Program Repair (APR) is an emerging research field. Many APR techniques, for different programming language and platforms, have been proposed and evaluated on several Benchmarks. However, for our best knowledge, there not exists a…

Generating test cases through automatic app exploration is very useful for analyzing and testing Android apps. However, test cases generated by current app-exploration tools are not reproducible, i.e. when the generated test case is…

The modern software development landscape has seen a shift in focus toward mobile applications as tablets and smartphones near ubiquitous adoption. Due to this trend, the complexity of these apps has been increasing, making development and…
