Abstract:
Testing is an essential part of the software development lifecycle. However, it can cost a lot of time and money to perform. For mobile applications, this problem is further exacerbated by the need to develop apps in a short time-span and for multiple platforms. This paper proposes MobiTest, a cross-platform automated testing tool for mobile applications, which uses a domain-specific language for mobile interfaces. With it, developers can define a single suite of tests that can then be run for the same application on multiple platforms simultaneously, with considerable savings in time and money.
