Abstract:
With ever-larger software development systems consuming more time to perform testing routines, it is necessary to think about approaches that accelerate continuous testing of those systems. This work aims to allow the correlation of semantic modifications with specific test cases of complex suites, and based on that correlation, skip time-consuming routines or mount lists of priority routines (fail-fast) to improve the productivity of mobile developers and time-sensitive project deliveries and validation. In order to facilitate continuous testing of large projects, we propose Sandiff, a tool that efficiently analyzes semantic modifications of files that impacts domain-specific testing routines of the official Android Test Suite. We validate our approach on a set of real world and commercially-available Android images of a large company that comprises two major versions of the system.
