Abstract

Nowadays, with the ever-increasing demand for a wide range of mobile applications, mobile test automation is required to provide cost-effective, high quality and reliable mobile applications. Compared to manual testing which is time consuming and requires more resources in terms of people and time, automation aims at improving the test process. There are several mobile automation applications available on the market but there no proper mechanisms or guidelines that define the steps or best practices to adopt when performing mobile application development with the view of improving the testing process in terms of time taken. This research work investigates latest mobile application testing tools and guidelines, and proposes a framework to reduce the testing time of an android mobile application. In the proposed framework, five mobile application development guidelines that are common to android applications have been considered and tested using an automated testing tool.
