Modeling mobile application test platform and environment: testing criteria and complexity analysis
Chuanqi Tao, Jerry Zeyu Gao · 2014
With the rapid advance of mobile computing technology and wireless networking, there is a significant increase of mobile subscriptions. This drives a strong demand on mobile application testing on mobile devices. Since mobile APPs are native to mobile devices, an underlying mobile platform becomes the basic foundation of their test environments. To achieve effective test automation, test solutions must be compatible, deployable, and executable on different mobile platforms, devices, network, and appliance APIs. This paper is written to provide an approach to modeling mobile test environments based on a Mobile Test Environment Semantic Tree (MTE_ST). Based on this model, the paper discusses test complexity evaluation methods for test environment. Furthermore, some case study results are reported to demonstrate and analyze the proposed testing models.
