Summary: | Software testing for mobile devices presents additional challenges compared to testing desktop and web applications, especially in fragmented environments such as the Android ecosystem. There are currently over 24 thousands different device models, with different screen sizes and densities, operating system versions, and other configurations that con- tribute to the instability of applications for this ecosystem. Several frameworks and TaaS platforms assist the validation of these type of applications, especially with regard to the construction and execution of UI tests. However, existing architectural limitations result in high-cost and low-diversity real devices to be used during Android apps validation. Inspired in this context and in the Collaborative Economy paradigm, this study proposes a disruptive architecture, which allows the execution of applications tests in an distribu- ted way, using idle devices around the world, reducing the cost of infrastructure with real devices at the same time with potential of generating a new market. Experiments have demonstrated the robustness of the architecture for performing UI tests on geographically distributed devices, and a financial analysis indicates a reduction of 85.67% in the infras- tructure cost of physical devices allocated for testing, while showing the viability of the built platform. |
