Abstract

Android applications continue to dominate the mobile market as time passes. However, software quality of the application remains a challenge. Analysis of the android application has been done by different researchers in the area of security, power consumption and performance of the android application. Source code refactoring has been used in android application to improve power consumption and execution time. In the area of testing that certify the quality of the product to continue keeping the app in the market place, analysis of the application is yet to be explored and research is yet to cover refactoring to improve android application testing. This paper proposes an analysis tool that improves the testing process of the android application. Our analysis tool extends the ApkAnalyzer and refactors the bytecodes generated to reduce the test path thus test cases generated are limited and have efficient coverage.
