Speedroid: A Novel Automation Testing Tool for Mobile Apps

Abstract

Automation tools are currently underworked in Quality Assurance and Testing. Nowadays, organizations demand an intellectual tool which can support Agile, DevOps, IoT and mobile software engineering practices. These digital transformations demand smart automation tools to test various applications. Mobile application automation tools present in the market are incapable to meet increased time-to-market pressure due to emerging ways of software development. Digital transformation and third-party relationships have escalated the complexity of testing domain. An innovative tool has been proposed in this paper that provides a smart solution for testing mobile applications. An attempt has been made to develop a mobile application automation tool named as Speedroid. Speedroid aims to provide an intelligent, integrated and automated approach to test continuously changing mobile applications. This automation tool will provide the solution for various challenges in the testing domain like complexity, efficiency, compatibility and portability of tool that are addressed by various organizations. Our study shows that Speedriod will result as a pillar of digital transformation by providing various features like integrity, usability, efficiency and compatible to both iOS and Android, ready to use in regression testing, reporting, logging and minimal tool learning efforts without any knowledge of programming language and contributing scripts.
