Abstract:
Mobile devices are becoming more and more common. Embedded in these devices are different mobile applications, making the devices more useful and popular. The quality of such applications is increasingly becoming a problem. Several techniques have emerged to assess software quality. In this paper, an experimentation package is proposed to evaluate some of the well-known software testing criteria on detecting faults in mobile software. This paper presents the results obtained after three replications of the proposed package. Based on statistical analysis, it was possible to arrive at statistical equivalences and differences between the evaluated criteria. This can help people concerned to establish testing strategies for mobile software.
