Abstract:
Mobile applications have proliferated internet market due to abundant development of smart mobile phones
and mobile devices. Testing of these mobile applications is crucial before they are made available to the customers. Testing
mobile applications has remained a big challenge for software professionals because of diverse features of mobile phones as
well as limitations which come with small size and portability. In this context testing of the applicationâ€™s GUI is of utmost
importance. GUI is tested for for efficiency, reliability and user friendliness. A number of testing models and techniques have
been proposed to automate GUI testing to reduce testing time, but still there is no technique which can be considered as
standard. This paper presents an analysis of available GUI testing techniques to expose their limitations and critical issues
related with GUI testing automation, cross platform testing, GUI modeling, and automatic test cases generation and execution.
To handle these issues TriTest, a model based approach is proposed which aims to automatically test functionality, compatibility,
and performance of mobile apps.
