ABSTRACT
In recent years, research on mobile application testing is becoming popular. Testing of mobile application is more complicated compared to other applications such as web applications. User interactions in web applications are limited to its GUI through the mouse and keyboard. On the other hand, mobile applications are also influenced by external events like phone calls, GPS, and hardware sensors.
In this paper, we propose an approach for generating test cases for mobile applications, specifically Android applications, focusing on external events. Our approach considers events that are both handled and not handled by the mobile application, which we refer to as explicit and implicit events.

Mobile application test case generation focusing on external events
Mobile! 2016: Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Mobile DevelopmentThis paper proposes an approach for test case generation of mobile apps, specifically Android apps. The approach focuses on external events. External events are considered from two aspects: explicit events and implicit events.
Verifying android applications using Java PathFinder
Mobile application testing is a specialised and complex field. Due to mobile applications' event driven design and mobile runtime environment, there currently exist only a small number of tools to verify these applications. This paper describes the ...
