Apoio a localização de defeitos durante a execução de sequências de teste para aplicações Android

Abstract

The increasing number of Android smartphones and tablets favors the development of new technologies and Software Engineering tools that assists the development of new applications. Through the testing phase, faults are often difficult to be located. Using the Model-Based Test (MBT) for the development of the tests, creates a reliable model to develop the test, thereby was chosen the MBT to modeling the test sequences of this project. Therefore, this work shows the development of the Visual DDroid tool that gathers screenshots and logs while test sequences for Android applications are executed and displays the collected data to the user. A preliminary evaluation of the Visual DDroid tool was performed. We verified that the collected data by the tool are useful for the debugging phase of the test sequences and the tool helped in locating the faults revealed by the test sequences.
