Abstract: Today mobile apps are everywhere and used in almost every aspect of our daily lives. Mobile app testing is the key to ensure apps work reliably and securely, and has been attracting significant attention from both academia and industry. In this talk, I will give a brief introduction on mobile app testing and summarise mainstream mobile app testing techniques. In the end, I will present our recent work "Time-travel Testing of Android Apps" (published at ICSE'20). Unlike existing works that focus on input sequence generation, our work captures app states during testing and prioritises exploring states from which it is highly likely to trigger new program behaviour such that more program behaviour can be discovered in the given time.
