Abstract:
The focus of this research is on improving a process of resource and time-consuming automated software testing. Particularly, we address the problem of testing mobile applications with rich non-native or hand-drawn graphical user interface, as well as resource-consuming dynamic applications, such as mobile games. We introduce an approach to creating a mobile testing farm, which is relatively easy to build with inexpensive components and open source software. This approach can be useful for supporting a product development cycle for a company on lean budget. It is suitable for a wide range of mobile applications with a high variety of human-computer interaction mechanisms.
