“…Nowadays, mobile applications are getting more and more complex and, besides the development challenges, testing them to ensure their stability and robustness is one of the biggest challenges [17]. Many mobile applications have been developed in critical areas such as transportation, healthcare and banking.…”

The growing dependency of our society on increasingly complex software systems, combining mobile and cloud-based applications and services, makes the test activities even more important and challenging. However, sometimes software tests are not properly performed due to tight deadlines, due to the time and skills required to develop and execute the tests or because the developers are too optimistic about possible faults in their own code. Although there are several frameworks for mobile test automation, they usually require programming skills or complex configuration steps. Hence, in this paper, we propose a framework that allows creating and executing tests for Android applications without requiring programming skills. It is possible to create automated tests based on a set of pre-defined actions and it is also possible to inject data into device sensors. An experiment with programmers and non-programmers showed that both can develop and execute tests with a similar time. A real world example using a fall detection application is presented to illustrate the approach.

“…Internationalization reduces time and cost of getting a product to international markets and facilitates localization of the product in a specific market. Usability includes text visibility on the selected language, navigation between screens, and functionality of online/offline [3,14]  Mobile system security testing: concerning the privacy of personal and business stored information on mobile devices include inscription/decryption techniques used for sensitive data. Attacking security may come from means of communication like SMS, MMS, WiFi, and Bluetooth, or may exploit software vulnerabilities from both the web browser and operating system [1,3,8].…”

Abstract-Mobile devices have become more pervasive in our daily lives, and are gradually replacing regular computers to perform traditional processes like Internet browsing, editing photos, playing videos and sound track, and reading different files. The importance of mobile devices in our life necessitates more concerns of the reliability and compatibility of mobile applications, and thus, testing these applications arises as an important phase in mobile devices adaption process. This paper addressed various research directions on mobile applications testing by investigating essential concepts, scope, features and requirements for testing mobile application. We highlight the similarities and the differences between mobile APP testing and mobile web testing. Furthermore, we discuss and compare different mobile testing approaches and environments, and provide the challenges as emergent needs in test environments. As a case study, we compared the testing experience of hybrid application in an emulator and a real world device. The purpose of the experiment is to verify to which extent a virtual device can emulate a complete client experience. Set of experiments are conducted where five android mobile browsers are tested. Each browser will be on a real device as well as an emulated device with the same features (CPU used, memory size, etc). The application will be tested on the following metrics: Performance and function/behavior testing.
