Smart-phone applications ("apps") run across a wide range of environmental conditions, locations, and hardware platforms. They are often subject to an array of interactions that are hard or impossible for developers to emulate or even anticipate during testing. Once an application is released, feedback obtained from users and from analytics over usage and performance data result in further modifications. Many of these changes are relatively small, and can often be parameterized.
