A model-driven approach for automating mobile applications testing
Youssef Ridene, Franck Barbier · 2011
Software testing faces up several challenges. One out of these is the opposition between time-to-market software delivery and the excessive length of testing activities. The latter results from the growth of the application complexity along with the diversity of handheld devices. The economical competition, branding impose zero-defect products, putting forward testing as an even more crucial activity. In this paper, we describe a Domain-Specific Modeling Language (DSML) built upon an industrial platform (a test bed) which aims to automate mobile application checking. A key characteristic of this DSML is its ability to cope with variability in the spirit of software product line engineering. We discuss this DSML as part of a tool suite enabling the test of remote devices having variable features.
