A Mechanism of Reliable and Standalone Script Generator on Android

A good automated testing tool could reduce as much as possible the manual work done by testers. In order to improve the traditional record-replay approach and reduce the effort that the testers spending on writing test scripts, we propose an approach that generates the Android application test scripts based on accessibility service without connecting to a computer. This approach simulates user input actions and replays them correctly even at the different conditions such as the internet connection is unstable when the device under test, the different resolutions on Android devices. In this paper, we describe how to generate test scripts automatically and make a comparison with existing tools for Android such as Robotium, Appium, UIAutomator, and MonkeyTalk.
