Design And Implementation Of The Automation Testing Tool Based On Android

In recent years, with the rapid development of Android OS, more and more mobile manufactures are focusing on Android application developing. However the testing job which plays an important role in ensuring the quality of the product is getting heavier. As an efficient way to increase the quality and productivity, lower the budget, the automation testing concept is mature and widely used in many IT areas. But when we talk about the automation testing for Android OS, it’s really hard to find an efficient tool to fulfill the testing requirements.According to the requirements of the real projects, an Android automation testing tool has been designed and developed. The main design philosophy of this tool is as follows:first it records the logs during the operations of the device, then it will analysis the log and restore each of the atomic operations, after that it will convert these operations into an automation testing script, finally after executing the script, the tool will print out the testing result according to the check points. This tool strictly followed the concept of software engineering from the requirement analysis, general design, detailed design, to the specific implement, and function test.This tool can dramatically avoid the issues we are now facing in the testing projects such as long testing time, irreproducible testing procedures, also this tool is completely source code and APK irrelative. It provides reference and preliminary practice to explore a more efficient way to automate testing processes in the Android OS.
