Abstract

\Mobile computing has become ubiquitous, thus the amount and complexity of mobile applications have challenged software engineering practices. To overcome the challenges brought by mobile applications, the adoption of repeatable, systematic and mainly automated tests have been researched. In this paper, we look into open source projects in hopes of identifying how automated tests are applied to mobile applications developed for the Android platform. We analyzed the automated tests to identify the frameworks adopted, the relation between the production and the testing code, and how the following challenges have been dealt with: connectivity, rich GUIs, limited resources, sensors, and multiple configurations.
