A model based compatibility testing method for mobile application

With the rapid development of mobile application's market, how to efficiently test and verify the quality of mobile applications has become one research focus in current academia and industry. In particular, due to the types of mobile devices, technology updates faster; how to test compatibility for mobile applications is an urgent problem. We propose a new mobile application testing method based on testing-value-weight semantic tree model. The method can drive all testing environments of mobile applications and then rank and select appropriate environments with the testing values. The experiments have proved the feasibility of the proposed method, which can reduce the amount of compatibility testing environmental configuration, thus improving the efficiency of testing and reducing the testing cost and time.
